+     * themselves.
+     *
+     * In order to show a real case imagine our node to also point to

+     * children, representing 'O':
+     *
+     *     "ANNIBALE" -> "SCO" -> []
+     *

+     *
+     * 1) Inserting "ANNIENTARE"

+     *               |B| -> "ALE" -> "SCO" -> []
+     *     "ANNI" -> |-|
+     *               |E| -> (... continue algo ...) "NTARE" -> []
+     *
+     * 2) Inserting "ANNIBALI"
+     *
+     *                  |E| -> "SCO" -> []
+     *     "ANNIBAL" -> |-|
+     *                  |I| -> (... continue algo ...) []
+     *
+     * 3) Inserting "AGO" (Like case 1, but set iscompr = 0 into original node)
+     *
+     *            |N| -> "NIBALE" -> "SCO" -> []
+     *     |A| -> |-|
+     *            |G| -> (... continue algo ...) |O| -> []
+     *
+     * 4) Inserting "CIAO"
+     *
+     *     |A| -> "NNIBALE" -> "SCO" -> []
+     *     |-|
+     *     |C| -> (... continue algo ...) "IAO" -> []
+     *

+     *
+     *     "ANNI" -> "BALE" -> "SCO" -> []
+     *
+     * The final algorithm for insertion covering all the above cases is as
+     * follows.
+     *
+     * ============================= ALGO 1 =============================
+     *
+     * For the above cases 1 to 4, that is, all cases where we stopped in
+     * the middle of a compressed node for a character mismatch, do:
+     *
+     * Let $SPLITPOS be the zero-based index at which, in the
+     * compressed node array of characters, we found the mismatching
+     * character. For example if the node contains "ANNIBALE" and we add
+     * "ANNIENTARE" the $SPLITPOS is 4, that is, the index at which the
+     * mismatching character is found.
+     *
+     * 1. Save the current compressed node $NEXT pointer (the pointer to the
+     *    child element, that is always present in compressed nodes).
+     *
+     * 2. Create "split node" having as child the non common letter
+     *    at the compressed node. The other non common letter (at the key)
+     *    will be added later as we continue the normal insertion algorithm
+     *    at step "6".
+     *
+     * 3a. IF $SPLITPOS == 0:
+     *     Replace the old node with the split node, by copying the auxiliary
+     *     data if any. Fix parent's reference. Free old node eventually
+     *     (we still need its data for the next steps of the algorithm).
+     *
+     * 3b. IF $SPLITPOS != 0:
+     *     Trim the compressed node (reallocating it as well) in order to
+     *     contain $splitpos characters. Change chilid pointer in order to link
+     *     to the split node. If new compressed node len is just 1, set
+     *     iscompr to 0 (layout is the same). Fix parent's reference.
+     *
+     * 4a. IF the postfix len (the length of the remaining string of the
+     *     original compressed node after the split character) is non zero,
+     *     create a "postfix node". If the postfix node has just one character
+     *     set iscompr to 0, otherwise iscompr to 1. Set the postfix node
+     *     child pointer to $NEXT.
+     *
+     * 4b. IF the postfix len is zero, just use $NEXT as postfix pointer.
+     *
+     * 5. Set child[0] of split node to postfix node.
+     *
+     * 6. Set the split node as the current node, set current index at child[1]
+     *    and continue insertion algorithm as usually.
+     *
+     * ============================= ALGO 2 =============================
+     *
+     * For case 5, that is, if we stopped in the middle of a compressed
+     * node but no mismatch was found, do:
+     *
+     * Let $SPLITPOS be the zero-based index at which, in the
+     * compressed node array of characters, we stopped iterating because
+     * there were no more keys character to match. So in the example of
+     * the node "ANNIBALE", addig the string "ANNI", the $SPLITPOS is 4.
+     *
+     * 1. Save the current compressed node $NEXT pointer (the pointer to the
+     *    child element, that is always present in compressed nodes).
+     *
+     * 2. Create a "postfix node" containing all the characters from $SPLITPOS
+     *    to the end. Use $NEXT as the postfix node child pointer.
+     *    If the postfix node length is 1, set iscompr to 0.
+     *    Set the node as a key with the associated value of the new
+     *    inserted key.
+     *
+     * 3. Trim the current node to contain the first $SPLITPOS characters.
+     *    As usually if the new node length is just 1, set iscompr to 0.
+     *    Take the iskey / associated value as it was in the orignal node.
+     *    Fix the parent's reference.
+     *
+     * 4. Set the postfix node as the only child pointer of the trimmed
+     *    node created at step 1.

+/* Representation of a radix tree as implemented in this file, that contains
+ * the strings "foo", "foobar" and "footer" after the insertion of each
+ * word. When the node represents a key inside the radix tree, we write it
+ * between [], otherwise it is written between ().
+ *
+ * This is the vanilla representation:
+ *
+ *              (f) ""
+ *                \
+ *                (o) "f"
+ *                  \
+ *                  (o) "fo"
+ *                    \
+ *                  [t   b] "foo"
+ *                  /     \
+ *         "foot" (e)     (a) "foob"
+ *                /         \
+ *      "foote" (r)         (r) "fooba"
+ *              /             \
+ *    "footer" []             [] "foobar"
+ *
+ * However, this implementation implements a very common optimization where
+ * successive nodes having a single child are "compressed" into the node
+ * itself as a string of characters, each representing a next-level child,
+ * and only the link to the node representing the last character node is
+ * provided inside the representation. So the above representation is turend
+ * into:
+ *
+ *                  ["foo"] ""
+ *                     |
+ *                  [t   b] "foo"
+ *                  /     \
+ *        "foot" ("er")    ("ar") "foob"
+ *                 /          \
+ *       "footer" []          [] "foobar"
+ *
+ * However this optimization makes the implementation a bit more complex.
+ * For instance if a key "first" is added in the above radix tree, a
+ * "node splitting" operation is needed, since the "foo" prefix is no longer
+ * composed of nodes having a single child one after the other. This is the
+ * above tree and the resulting node splitting after this event happens:
+ *
+ *
+ *                    (f) ""
+ *                    /
+ *                 (i o) "f"
+ *                 /   \
+ *    "firs"  ("rst")  (o) "fo"
+ *              /        \
+ *    "first" []       [t   b] "foo"
+ *                     /     \
+ *           "foot" ("er")    ("ar") "foob"
+ *                    /          \
+ *          "footer" []          [] "foobar"
+ *
+ * Similarly after deletion, if a new chain of nodes having a single child
+ * is created (the chain must also not include nodes that represent keys),
+ * it must be compressed back into a single node.
