//!   This is an implementation of a binary search tree.
//!   A node in the search tree has references to its children and its parent. This 
//!   is to allow traversal of the whole tree from a given node making the 
//!   implementation of iterator a pointer to a node.
//!   At the top of the tree a node is used specially. This node's parent pointer 
//!   is pointing to the root of the tree. Its left pointer points to the 
//!   leftmost node in the tree and the right pointer to the rightmost one.
//!   This node is used to represent the end-iterator.
