## Arena based tree structure with multithreading support

This arena tree structure is using just a single `Vec` and numerical identifiers

(indices in the vector) instead of reference counted pointers. This means there

is no `RefCell` and mutability is handled in a way much more idiomatic to Rust

through unique (&mut) access to the arena. The tree can be sent or shared across

threads like a `Vec`. This enables general multiprocessing support like

parallel tree traversals.

### Example usage

```rust

use indextree::Arena;

// Create a new arena

let arena = &mut Arena::new();

// Add some new nodes to the arena

let a = arena.new_node(1);

let b = arena.new_node(2);

// Append a to b

assert!(a.append(b, arena).is_ok());

assert_eq!(b.ancestors(arena).into_iter().count(), 2);

```
