(* VI    Deletion. ****************** *******************   Deleting an element from a binary search tree is a little more complex than inserting or searching. The difficult case is the deletion of the root of a tree; we have to reconstruct a search tree. To solve this problem, we define an auxiliary operation: deleting the greatest element of a non-empty binary search tree. *)
