I have tried Gilles tree macro and it _is_ fabulous.
About blob trees I wonder: what'll happen if you have branches crossing?
Obviously they'll blob together. I've tried to make a macro based on a principle
that should avoid this: work from the outside inwards. It was a lot of work to
get it right and it needs a lot of parsing time but when you finally see the
tree it doesn't make any difference. Still, it was fun to do. 

Everyone should/could make his or her own tree.
