Comment:

 horike - Thanks for the patch. A couple initial thoughts (for you and/or
 theMikeD :) ):

 * The proposed 'child' appears to do a bit more than the original
 suggestion. The idea was to get leaf nodes, but 'child' will only get leaf
 nodes of a given ancestor. How about separating the leaf logic into its
 own parameter, which could then be combined with 'child_of' to accomplish
 the more specific filtering?
 * Function documentation will need updating.
 * Needs unit tests.
