One more thing while we're talking about compiled code size. As you
noted, the non-augmented rb_erase() is pretty big. However, that size
includes the inlined rebalancing code. For the augmented erase
functions, my proposal is to the rebalancing part (rb_erase_color with
the rotate callback) will not be inlined, so as to limit the size of
the erase functions for each augmented rbtree data structure.
