When you're doing the pre and post-order traversals, are they
implemented as separate traversals from the root, or is it a kind of
pre and post-order where non-leaf nodes are visited on the way down
and on the way up?
I assume either could be made to work, but the re-traversal from the
root probably minimizes TLB flushes, whereas the pre-and-post-order
would be a more efficient walk?
