25 * Loads a feature tree including all of its nodes (all the way down to the tips of the tree).
26 * Because this method automatically adds feature nodes recursively, adding "root" to property paths
27 * is supurfluous - the propertyPaths argument should be used to initialize property paths <i>in addition</i>
28 * to the feature nodes. The nodePaths argument is applied to each node in turn, so again, adding "children"
29 * is also supurfluous. The nodePaths argument should be used to specify additional propertys of the featureNode
30 * to initialize (e.g. feature).
