Right, but see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-black_tree
That is delete_case5, however then we fall into delete_case6 and perform
a left rotation.

So suppose we start with the tree:

P P P SL
/ \ / \ / \ / \
D S --> N S --> N SL --> P S
\ / \ / \ \ / \
N SL SR SL* SR S* N SR
\
SR

and then remove D, delete case 5 and finally delete case 6, * marks red.

rb_augment_erase_begin(D) will return N, and then rb_augment_path(N)
will re-augment: N, P, SL and S.
