This is an Elm library implementing a data structure to represent a multi-timeline history in the form of a tree.
It's meant for implementing an undo/redo functionality where, when you undo to some point and then do something else from there, you don't lose that entire timeline of things you had done previously.
This library does not implement the undo/redo functionality with a usable frontend, but only a data structure that can be used for it. I will implement this in a different library.

As you can see, the previous timeline (1 -> 2 -> 3) is kept in a separate branch of the tree, and you can switch to it again at any time.
