In english, you are correct. But, since my English -> Machine code compiler
is still in the pre-planning phase, it's not yet an acceptable programming
language. The API calls on the three major platforms are not only
significantly different for this type of function, they're also
significantly more complex than "Display a tree". As such, it's inefficient
to code it 3+ times.
