Would setting `setCanMergeChildren` in construction disable this? Or am i
reading the PR wrong?

> Improvement: test-time computation
> Currently, pairs of leaf nodes with the same parent can both output the same
> prediction. This happens since the splitting criterion (e.g., Gini) is not
> the same as prediction accuracy/MSE; the splitting criterion can sometimes be
> improved even when both children would still output the same prediction
> (e.g., based on the majority label for classification).
> We could check the tree and reduce it if possible after training.
> Note: This happens with scikit-learn as well.
