Absolutely awesome readme, comprehensive and covers an huge chunk of background. I know more about in-memory tree data structures than when I started. Beautiful API. This is how a data structure library should be done.

I really dislike the sensitivity to negative feedback that has become more common over the past ten years. It used to be possible to communicate that someone's behavior is harmful without being accused of literally shitting on them. ES
