Hey Terry vs-create-tree is not perform as stated in the doc string: *Creates a tree whose root node is named 'valuespace' containing one child node for every entry in the namespace.*
That is, it's not create a root node named valuespace. Is there anything special about this command or can I create my own node named valuespace?
