// Go's concurrency primitives make it easy to
// express concurrent concepts, such as
// this binary tree comparison.
//
// Trees may be of different shapes,
// but have the same contents. For example:
//
//        4               6
//      2   6          4     7
//     1 3 5 7       2   5
//                  1 3
//
// This program compares a pair of trees by
// walking each in its own goroutine,
// sending their contents through a channel
// to a third goroutine that compares them.
