I have an arbitrary ragged nested list-of-lists (a tree) like



A = {{a, b}, {c, d}, {{{e, f, g, h, i}, {j, k, l}}, m}, n};


Its structure is given by the rules



B = Flatten[MapIndexed[#2 -> #1 &, A, {-1}]]



{{1, 1} -> a, {1, 2} -> b, {2, 1} -> c, {2, 2} -> d, {3, 1, 1, 1} -> e, {3, 1, 1, 2} -> f, {3, 1, 1, 3} -> g, {3, 1, 1, 4} -> h, {3, 1, 1, 5} -> i, {3, 1, 2, 1} -> j, {3, 1, 2, 2} -> k, {3, 1, 2, 3} -> l, {3, 2} -> m, {4} -> n}




How can I invert this operation? How can I construct A solely from the information given in B?
