Exploring the design space of binary search trees
I started this project many years ago when I was coming up with ideas for immutable data structures for the PHP data structures extension: https://github.com/php-ds/ext-ds. I wanted to support access by position in a sorted set, which led to the idea of using binary search trees for both lists and sets. However, I did not expect the scope of this project to increase as much as it did.
The more I read about binary search trees, the more I thought about them, and so down the rabbit hole I went.
