cbb5d57081 DOC: the Ref::THIS construct was removed from the Diff language (#996)
...because of questionable utility
And it turned out to be quite a liability when it comes to implementing
the building blocks for binding tree implementation data structures

9b8fae1a9b (re)consider the problem how to deal with mandatory/optional object fields
this is a tricky problem and a tough decision.
After quite some pondering I choose to enforce mandatory fields
through the ctor, and not to allow myself cheating my way around it

9c9b31f0f8 DOC: External Tree Description as a design concept
This page gives the rationale for the way our diff framework is built.
This reasoning might *reduce* the relevance of any decisions
regarding the implementation data structure and thus lead to
far reaching consequences for the whole architecture.

beb57cde22 DOC: decision to use a simplistic implementation to start with
This means to discontinue any research into emitting an optimal
diff verb sequence for now and just to document the possible path
I see to reach at such a optimal solution later, when it turns out
to be really necessary performance wise.

Personal note: I arrived at this conclusion while whatching the
New Year fireworks 2014/2015 at the banks of the Isar river in
the centre of the city.
Too sad that 2014 didn't bring us World War III

fe9105f321 DOC: reasoning behind the construction of our list diff algorithm
this is a theoretical description of our method, and gives
the reaoning why it is correct, plus the assesment of
size and complexity order.
