  441% It depends on the tree pattern in avl_geq whether it really decreases.
  442
  443% Single and double tree rotations - these are common for insert and delete.
  444/* The patterns (>)-(>), (>)-( <), ( <)-( <) and ( <)-(>) on the LHS
  445   always change the tree height and these are the only patterns which can
  446   happen after an insertion. That's the reason why we can use a table only to
  447   decide the needed changes.
  448
  449   The patterns (>)-( -) and ( <)-( -) do not change the tree height. After a
  450   deletion any pattern can occur and so we return yes or no as a flag of a
  451   height change.  */
