What scared me about it in particular was one scenario where you try to delete a subtree.
This would normally leave a gap, since the structure is based on the worm's ability to get
from one node to the next with an increment of just 1. Once you had a subtree deleted,
you'd either would have to have the worm leap-frog (a leaping frog-worm?!! :)) the gap or
update an entire half of the tree to close it . . . then my brain started to hurt and I
gave up.

Sure, I'd like to have a look at it!
