/**
 * INodeByPath.
 *
 * This interface adds a tiny bit of functionality to collections.
 *
 * Getting a node that is deep in the tree normally requires going trough each parent node
 * which can cause a significant performance overhead.
 *
 * Implementing this interface allows solving this overhead by directly jumping to the target node.
