A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
TreeNode a = ...
TreeNode b = ....
TreePath x = new TreePath(...[a,b]...)
TreePath y = new TreePath(...[a,b]...)
x.isDescendant(x) returns true (by the first line of code)
    but
x.isDescendant(y) returns false (by what appears to be oversight)

In general, I'd say X is NOT a descendent of X, but I would say that X _dominates_ X, and it's the latter that I need. The documentation should make it 100% clear what the semantics are, and either provide a comment or neighboring method to get the other semantics.
