I actually did use row references to implement an incremental search on
trees (look at XMMS' "Jump to File" (accelerator: [j]) to know what I
mean) withouth the need to keep a parallel data structure (which is what
XMMS does). I was going to submit it as a FAQ but I'll wait until Ross
commented on my other suggestions since their somewhat similiar to this
one.
