     * therefore a set of different paths through the tree that start with a root node and end with
     * a leaf node. Such a path can be added to the tree. The method checks, if any of the GUI
     * elements denoted by the path already exists. If so, it reuses it. It may therefore also
     * return an existing GUI element being the leaf node of the provided path. If a GUI element of
     * the path does not exist yet, it creates a new one using the provided GUI element factory.
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * If a GUI element specification describes an existing GUI element or not is determined through
     * comparing the GUI element specifications of the existing GUI elements with the ones provided
     * in the path. The comparison is done using the
     * {@link IGUIElementSpec#getSimilarity(IGUIElementSpec)} method. The comparison is only done on
     * the correct levels. I.e. the currently known root elements of the tree are only compared to
     * the first element in the path. If the correct one is found or created, its children are
     * compared only to the second specification in the path, and so on.
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * The returned GUI elements are singletons. I.e. it is tried to return always the identical
     * object for the same denoted element. However, while creating the GUI model, the similarity of
     * GUI elements may change. Therefore, the method might determine, that two formerly different
     * nodes are now similar. (This may happen, e.g. if GUI elements do not have initial names which
     * are set afterwards. Therefore, first they are handled differently and later they can be
     * identified as being the same.) In such a case, there are already several GUI element objects
     * instantiated for the same GUI element. The singleton paradigm gets broken. Therefore, such
     * GUI element objects are registered with each other, so that their equal method can determine
     * equality again correctly, although the objects are no singletons anymore.
