    public class PedigreeFn
    extends SystemFunction
    The saxon:pedigree function, new in Saxon 9.9.

    The function is applied to a map or array that has a pedigree, typically because it was selected by downwards selection within a tree where pedigrees are maintained. It returns information about the pedigree of the map or array, that is, information about its position within the containing tree.

    This information is returned in the form of a map that contains the following entries.

    container - the containing map or array, or an empty sequence if the supplied map or array is the root of the pedigree tree

    index - if the container is an array, this entry is an integer holding the 1-based index of the supplied map or array within the containing array

    key - if the container is a map, this entry is an atomic value holding the key of the entry in this map that contains the supplied map or array.
