I have a few questions regarding the TR2 tree iterators

1) I would recommend a breadth-first iterator

2) What is the semantic of in-order traversal for a non-binary tree?

3) I don't feel like I'm understanding the motivation for cursors versus
iterators. Is there an "elevator pitch" for that?

Also, a question regarding the definition of 'multi-way' tree: My
reaction to 'multi-way' is: 'synonym for n-ary', but that appears to not
be the idea. What makes a binary tree "multi-way" and an nary tree not
multi-way?
