Deprecate TreeIterator

Closed this issue · 1 comments

In practice, most analysis occurs after the fact, via tskit.TreeSequence. The current TreeIterator type creates an excessive maintenance burden, and the fact that it differs a bit semantically from the tskit analog can be a point of confusion.

Actually, let's not move too quickly here. There are some good advanced examples showing why this is nice to have.
