20 * Loads a polytomous key including all of its nodes (all the way down to the tips of the tree).
21 * Because this method automatically adds key nodes recursively, adding "root" to property paths
22 * is superfluous - the propertyPaths argument should be used to initialize property paths <i>in addition</i>
23 * to the key nodes. The nodePaths argument is applied to each node in turn, so again, adding "children"
24 * is also superfluous. The nodePaths argument should be used to specify additional properties of the
25 * key node to initialize.
