                       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

The string representation of a TreePath is what is usually generated by its toString method, e.g.

[root, parent, child]

Nodes which contain a comma need to have that comma preceded by a backslash to avoid it being interpreted as two separate nodes.

NOTE: The returned TreePath is only a TreePath constructed of Strings; it requires further manipulation to be turned into a true TreePath as it relates to a given Tree.
