[LAD] multi branch tree in c

With binary trees, with right and left daughter pointers,
you can replace null right daughter pointers with the
node's in-order successor, and null left daughter pointers
with the node's in-order predecessor.  These are called
threads.  You need to keep one bit per pointer to tell
if it's a link or a thread.   Then you can go backwards
and forwards in the tree with almost no extra space.

This generalizes to n-ary trees, but I don't remember quite
how right off the top of my head.

| Is there a way, with that tree structure only, to go through it like this:
| root next1 next11 next111
| root next1 next11 next112
| ...
| root nextN nextN2 nextN21
| root nextN nextN2 nextN22
|    I thought of using an additional list to perform this kind of action

| LSCP commands at the moment. I plan to do a bit more, but that's for the
| future.
