+   * parent item chain at the point that we encounter each item but then
+   * we would need to implement some sort of recursion along with checks
+   * for self-referential items.
+   *
+   * Instead, we do a number of passes.  Each pass will build up one
+   * level of names (starting from the root).  We continue to do passes
+   * until no more items are left.  The first pass will only add root
+   * items and each further pass will only add items whose direct parent
+   * is an item added in the immediately previous pass.  It's also
+   * possible that items get filled if they follow their parent within a
+   * particular pass.
+   *
+   * At most we will have a number of passes equal to the depth of the
+   * tree.  Self-referential items will never be filled in (since their
+   * parent will have never been filled in).  We continue until we have
+   * a pass that fills in no additional items.
+   *
+   * This takes an O(n) algorithm and turns it into O(n*m) where m is
+   * the depth of the tree, but in all sane cases the tree won't be very
+   * deep and the constant factor of this algorithm is lower (and the
