I'm okay with this change, but the INVARIANT: comment usually goes
before the `StructName {` declaration rather than on the field. For
example, what about this?

	// INVARIANT:
	// - `current` is a valid node in the [`RBTree`] pointed to by `self.tree`.
	let cursor = next.or(prev).map(|current| Self {
	    current,
	    tree: self.tree,
	});
	
	(cursor, node)
