/**
  * This interface represents the current state of the selection for
  * the tree component.
  * For information and examples of using tree selection models,
  * see <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html">How to Use Trees</a>
  * in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
  *
  * <p>
  * The state of the tree selection is characterized by
  * a set of TreePaths, and optionally a set of integers. The mapping
  * from TreePath to integer is done by way of an instance of RowMapper.
  * It is not necessary for a TreeSelectionModel to have a RowMapper to
  * correctly operate, but without a RowMapper <code>getSelectionRows</code>
  * will return null.
  *
  * <p>
  *
  * A TreeSelectionModel can be configured to allow only one
  * path (<code>SINGLE_TREE_SELECTION</code>) a number of
  * continguous paths (<code>CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code>) or a number of
  * discontiguous paths (<code>DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code>).
  * A <code>RowMapper</code> is used to determine if TreePaths are
  * contiguous.
  * In the absence of a RowMapper <code>CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code> and
  * <code>DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code> behave the same, that is they
  * allow any number of paths to be contained in the TreeSelectionModel.
  *
  * <p>
  *
  * For a selection model of <code>CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code> any
  * time the paths are changed (<code>setSelectionPath</code>,
  * <code>addSelectionPath</code> ...) the TreePaths are again checked to
  * make they are contiguous. A check of the TreePaths can also be forced
  * by invoking <code>resetRowSelection</code>. How a set of discontiguous
  * TreePaths is mapped to a contiguous set is left to implementors of
  * this interface to enforce a particular policy.
  *
  * <p>
  *
  * Implementations should combine duplicate TreePaths that are
  * added to the selection. For example, the following code
  * <pre>
  *   TreePath[] paths = new TreePath[] { treePath, treePath };
  *   treeSelectionModel.setSelectionPaths(paths);
  * </pre>
  * should result in only one path being selected:
  * <code>treePath</code>, and
  * not two copies of <code>treePath</code>.
  *
  * <p>
  *
  * The lead TreePath is the last path that was added (or set). The lead
  * row is then the row that corresponds to the TreePath as determined
  * from the RowMapper.
