/* NOTES:

   Have to ensure that we can't put symbol nil on a plist, or some
   functions may work incorrectly.

   An idea:  Have the owner of the tree keep count of splits and/or
   insertion lengths (in intervals), and balance after every N.

   Need to call *_left_hook when buffer is killed.

   Scan for zero-length, or 0-length to see notes about handling
   zero length interval-markers.

   There are comments around about freeing intervals.  It might be
   faster to explicitly free them (put them on the free list) than
   to GC them.

   from the left.

   When we inherit a property, we get its stickiness as well as its value.

/* Insert the intervals of SOURCE into BUFFER at POSITION.
   LENGTH is the length of the text in SOURCE.

   This is used in insdel.c when inserting Lisp_Strings into the
   buffer.  The text corresponding to SOURCE is already in the buffer
   when this is called.  The intervals of new tree are a copy of those
   belonging to the string being inserted; intervals are never
   shared.

   If the inserted text had no intervals associated, and we don't
   want to inherit the surrounding text's properties, this function
   simply returns -- offset_intervals should handle placing the
   text in the correct interval, depending on the sticky bits.

   If the inserted text had properties (intervals), then there are two
   cases -- either insertion happened in the middle of some interval,
   or between two intervals.

   If the text goes into the middle of an interval, then new
   intervals are created in the middle with only the properties of
   the new text, *unless* the macro MERGE_INSERTIONS is true, in
   which case the new text has the union of its properties and those
   of the text into which it was inserted.

   If the text goes between two intervals, then if neither interval
   had its appropriate sticky property set (front_sticky, rear_sticky),
   the new text has only its properties.  If one of the sticky properties
   is set, then the new text "sticks" to that region and its properties
   depend on merging as above.  If both the preceding and succeeding
   intervals to the new text are "sticky", then the new text retains
   only its properties, as if neither sticky property were set.  Perhaps
