What I find unlucky, for example, is that we do have a generic
tree data structure with a lot of imlicit assumptions and lot
of issues if those are violated. So encapsulating this properly
in abstract data types would be really helpful.  But we could do
this also in C, while the switch to C++ apparently did nothing
to address this.
