    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.
