The interval_tree_subtree_search() holds the loop invariant: start <= node->ITSUBTREE Let's say we have a following tree: node / \ left right So we know node->ITSUBTREE is contributed by one of the following: * left->ITSUBTREE * ITLAST(node) * right->ITSUBTREE When we come to the right node, we are sure the first two don't contribute to node->ITSUBTREE and it must be the right node does the job. So skip the check before go to the right subtree.
