=head1 NAME

Forest::Tree::Roles::MetaData - A role mixin to support tree node metadata

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This role mixin adds support for each tree node to have arbitrary metadata
stored in a HASHref. The metadata is inherited in the tree as well, so a child
will inherit the parents metadata.

This is really useful, at least for me it is :)

This will first check locally, if it doesn't fund anything then will climb
back to the root looking.
