> it feels a bit awkward to me that the abstract method getRootTree on QueryEngineImpl returns
> a Root object and not a Tree.
> i had a quick look and it turned out that it is only used for accessing tree instances...
> so i would suggest to either
> - rename method to getRoot() and leave the code otherwise unchanged.
> - keep the name but change the signature to return Tree and then adjust the usages accordingly.
>   currently it is only used upon calling Query#setRootTree which would need in this case to
>   be changed to Tree as well... the lookup of other trees by path would in this case no longer
>   work with Root#getTree(absPath) but rather be rootTree.getLocation().getTree(relPath).getTree().
>   permissions wise the outcome would be the same.
> i came across this while trying to obtain a query engine in the permission validator provider
> which due to the current usage and definition of validatorprovider#getRootProvider doesn't
> have access to the root at all.
