  442% It depends on the tree pattern in avl_geq whether it really decreases.
  443
  444% Single and double tree rotations - these are common for insert and delete.
  445/* The patterns (>)-(>), (>)-( <), ( <)-( <) and ( <)-(>) on the LHS
  446   always change the tree height and these are the only patterns which can
  447   happen after an insertion. That's the reason why we can use a table only to
  448   decide the needed changes.
  449
  450   The patterns (>)-( -) and ( <)-( -) do not change the tree height. After a
  451   deletion any pattern can occur and so we return yes or no as a flag of a
  452   height change.  */
