I am now in what I call a "wrestling with code" phase. It's definitely a 
physical process. I also think of it as sculpting clay.

Leo is the perfect tool for this kind of thing.  I can copy/paste code from 
npyscreen classes for reference while working on subclasses.

The goal is to use Leo's existing vnode structure instead of the 
corresponding npyscreen TreeData objects.  Clearly, the goal is feasible. 
Leo's tree resources are far richer than npyscreen's. In practice, only the 
LeoMLTree.update method will change, so the task is in some sense bounded.

But this task is not straightforward.  I am in the process of "unwinding" 
the twisty little maze of calls to adapter methods in the MLTree class. 
This unwinding process will simplify the code and deepen my understanding 
of what *exactly* is going on. As the code gets simpler the way forward 
will start to emerge.
