i am not sure if this actually is a good idea. if do getNodes(array('/a', '/a/b', '/a/b/c')) with a depth of 2, we fetched /a/b twice and /a/b/c three times (once in /a, once in /a/b and once directly). with a larger depth and large nodes, this becomes expensive.

on the other hand, if we would fetch /a/b/c we would also fetch 2 levels more underneath it, which in turn could save us a lot of subsequent calls. simply increasing the depth is also not an option, there might be lots of children und /a/x/y that we do not want to fetch.

inputs?
