The simplification made me worry for a second but after checking it out
I realized that my fear was only based on my original version where I
did a
kv = simpleheap_remove_first(heap);
simpleheap_add(heap, kv->key, kv->value);
if there was work to be done. But Abhijit optimized that code to do less
work, so the amount of comparisons is exactly the same before/after your
simplifications. With considerably less code.
Looks ready to me.
Thanks,
Andres
