-commit b426fafff6238dda8d86fa668f585cba732dd272

-    Fix some Node::operator[] regressions from 0.5.1
-    
-    "const Node Node::operator[](const Key& key) const" changed from
-    returning new empty node if the key was missing in 0.5.1 to returning
-    a shared 'zombie' node in 0.5.2 to resolve a memory leak.
-    
-    (Specifically 1025f76df1b32b6ec3571ca928d7797a768a3341 was where this
-    was introduced)
-    
-    This caused some regressions where this 'zombie' object threw exceptions
-    in some functions where the 'empty' object would not.
-    
-    This change fixes the Node::as(fallback) method (to return the
-    'fallback' instead of throwing an exception) and the
-    Node::begin()/Node::end() methods to return default-constructed
-    iterators (so begin() == end() in such cases) instead of another
-    exception.
