var tree = u('root', [
  u('subtree', {id: 1}),
  u('subtree', {id: 2}, [
    u('node', [u('leaf', 'leaf 1'), u('leaf', 'leaf 2')]),
    u('leaf', {id: 3}, 'leaf 3'),
    u('void', {id: 4})
  ])
])

console.dir(tree, {depth: null})

results in the following tree:

{
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {type: 'subtree', id: 1},
    {
      type: 'subtree',
      id: 2,
      children: [
        {
          type: 'node',
          children: [
            {type: 'leaf', value: 'leaf 1'},
            {type: 'leaf', value: 'leaf 2'}
          ]
