;;; tree.el --- Working with Trees -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

;;; Commentary:
;; Some friendly functions that hopefully will make working with trees cheaper
;; and therefore more appealing!
;;
;; Tree terminology:
;; - leaf: node with zero children.
;; - root: node with zero parents.
;; - depth: measures a node's distance from the root node.  This implies the
;;   root node has a depth of zero.
;; - height: measures the longest traversal from a node to a leaf.  This implies
;;   that a leaf node has a height of zero.
;; - balanced?
;;
;; Tree variants:
;; - binary: the maximum number of children is two.
;; - binary search: the maximum number of children is two and left sub-trees are
;;   lower in value than right sub-trees.
;; - rose: the number of children is variable.
