+ * pin the node to remove in place (disallowing any insertion after this
+ * node temporarily) before we can proceed to its exchange with the new
+ * node atomically. This renders the "replace" operation not strictly
+ * lock-free, because a thread crashing in the middle of the replace
+ * operation could stop progress for other updaters.
+ *
+ * Providing this semantic allows us to ensure that replacement-only
+ * schemes will never generate duplicated keys. It also allows us to
