We may have two nodes with the same size, and the one return first will be sure *not* the leftmost one, I aware of that ...
But my question is why we need the leftmost one ?

Ok figured it out myself by thinking more about it.

A node with the searched size is not necessary the leftmost one, so we would not see all nodes with the searched size and potentially use the wrong one.

Sorry Monk, but Chris is right this optimization is illegal.
