Neat. I'll add this to my toolbox.

Somewhat unrelated: I discovered some time ago that the column command (from util-linux) can print trees of hierarchical data (up to 2 levels deep).

From the man page:

  $ echo -e '1 0 A\n2 1 AA\n3 1 AB\n4 2 AAA\n5 2 AAB' | column --tree-id 1 --tree-parent 2 --tree 3
  1  0  A
  2  1  |-AA
  4  2  | |-AAA
  5  2  | `-AAB
  3  1  `-AB
