You're right of course about needing create a traits class. I've 
abstracted out the character type, tree type, and associated operations 
into one.

The tree operations are provided by a function and two classes: data, 
anonymous_children, and named_children. The function data simply returns 
the data associated with a given node. anonymous_children models a 
subset of Forward Container and provides access to any unnamed children 
of a node. Likewise named_children models a subset of Pair Associative 
Container and provides access to any named children of a node.

Now for the fun part, documenting all this.
