Commonness
On Catagolue, it is the fifth most common period 8 oscillator, being slightly less common than smiley but more common than blocker on cis-dock.[3] It first occurred naturally on August 21, 2015, in a soup submitted to Catagolue by Tanner Jacobi.[4]
gollark: The most performant way would probably be an array containing all the nodes, and each thing storing indices to its children and not actual pointers.
gollark: WRONG!
gollark: Although you might need a Box<> to avoid apiology there, hmm.
gollark: SmallVec, quite possibly.
gollark: A vector for every node is *probably* suboptimal?
