-The TreeParameter class 
-The TreeParameter class provides a mean to implement parameters in SpecTcl in a tree-like structure and without the need to specify parameter identification numbers. The parameters are referred to by their names only, which at the same time indicate their location in the tree. This reference mechanism is valid for both the coding part of SpecTcl (C++ code) and the interpreter part (Tcl/Tk shell). It eliminates the confusion induced by the use of numerals to refer to the parameters, and allows the user to organize the parameters in a logical fashion.
