+ * trees are tightly connected with the specific context and they are held by the context internally
+ * - caller does not need to keep pointers to the schemas returned by lys_parse(), context knows
+ * about them. The data trees created with lyd_parse() are still connected with the specific context,
+ * but they are not internally held by the context. The data tree just points and lean on some data
+ * held by the context (schema tree, string dictionary, etc.). Therefore, in case of data trees, caller
+ * is supposed to keep pointers returned by the lyd_parse() and manage the data tree on its own. This
