Detailed Description

How you interact with this object is the key to the objtree library.

You can add and remove objects by their (client-specified) ID.

You can then iteract with multiple objects at once by specifying the targets as an id_query rather than a single ID. For instance, you could call

        list->setProperties("*", my_property_set);

which would update that property for all objects in the list, provided they already had a property of that name.

NOTE: query support is a bit limited. At the moment you can only use a specific ID, or the query "*" which specifies all IDs in the list. Better query support could obviously be added but I haven't needed it.
