/**
    @class wxTreeItemData

    wxTreeItemData is some (arbitrary) user class associated with some item. The
    main advantage of having this class is that wxTreeItemData objects are
    destroyed automatically by the tree and, as this class has virtual
    destructor, it means that the memory and any other resources associated with
    a tree item will be automatically freed when it is deleted. Note that we
    don't use wxObject as the base class for wxTreeItemData because the size of
    this class is critical: in many applications, each tree leaf will have
    wxTreeItemData associated with it and the number of leaves may be quite big.

    Also please note that because the objects of this class are deleted by the
    tree using the operator @c delete, they must always be allocated on the heap
    using @c new.
