The documentation should be corrected.  Since TreeIter is a struct, null
cannot be converted to TreeIter.  Use TreeIter.Zero instead.

The most efficient way will probably be to get the path of the iter,
subtract 1 from the last component, then turn that path back into an
iter.  Not exactly clean, but I can't think of a better way to do it.
