        // methods (GetFirstChild, GetNextSibling, etc.) produce the correct
        // result regardless of which parent is used.
        //
        // It matters for TabControl, however.  The item peer (TabItemAutomationPeer)
        // and wrapper peer (TabItemWrapperAutomationPeer) contain the same
        // children, except when the TabItem is selected (so that its content
        // is shown in the TabControls large display area).  In that case the item
        // peer has extra children, corresponding to the displayed content.

        // still point back to the item peer.  An automation client that searches
        // through, or iterates over, the children of the item peer will not see
        // the extra children.  It (effectively) calls itemPeer.GetFirstChild,

        // started the iteration, i.e. the one where GetFirstChild was called.  But

        // this if the iteration parent differs from the custody parent and has
        // a different set of children (a rare situation), so to make it pay-for-play
        // we implement the new pointer as an indirection through an existing field.
