   traversal
  
      Processing {nodes} in a {graph} one at a time, usually
      in some specified order.   Traversal of a tree is {recursive}ly
      defined to mean visiting the {root node} and traversing its
      children.   Visiting a node usually involves transforming it in
      some way or collecting data from it.
  
      In "pre-order traversal", a node is visited _before_ its
      children.   In "post-order" traversal, a node is visited
      _after_ its children.   The more rarely used "in-order"
      traversal is generally applicable only to binary trees, and is
      where you visit first a node's left child, then the node
      itself, and then its right child.
  
      For the binary tree:
  
               T
            / \
            I   S
         / \
         D   E
  
      A pre-order traversal visits the nodes in the order T I D E S.
      A post-order traversal visits them in the order D E I S T.   An
      in-order traversal visits them in the order D I E T S.
