Hi Nicolas,

thanks for your reaction.

By default, a day or week tree will assume that it is the only thing in a
file when it is created and handled.
The exception is that if you have an Org entry with a property

DATE_TREE: t

that the date tree will be placed under that specific node.  But since this
is a specific property (key, not value), there was no way to target a
different Org node as parent for a tree.  This is now possible.

Another way to implement this would be to use different VALUES for the
DATE_TREE/WEEK_TREE property - maybe that would actually be a somewhat
cleaner implementation.

I'll rethink that and I will also define a test.
