I'm just wondering whether it is important for you that all the internal
links are TVars. That of course depends on what kind of API you're imagining
for your data structure. I would imagine though that a single TVar pointing
to the root of your favourite functional tree implementation will be quite
sufficient. My guess is it would also be the fastest way of implementing it.

Cheers,
