I haven't worried about this too much.  The long-term goal is to use
the maple tree data structure to replace the radix tree data structure
underlying the xarray and use the xarray API to access the maple tree.
The xarray API will need some enhancements to make this work, but churning
the maple tree API doesn't seem like a good use of effort.
