Can anyone help me understand the different purposes of a "Tree Uri" and a the Uri of a DocumentFile instantiated from that Tree Uri? At first glance, they both seem to represent the same thing—a directory. e.g.

val documentFileTreeUri = DocumentFile.fromTreeUri(context, treeUri)
// treeUri -> <content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary%3Afoobar>
// documentFileTreeUri -> <content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary%3Afoo/document/primary%3Afoobar>
