Thanks!

Any interest in the patch? It adds a maxsize parameter to both
Crossover and Mutation. It seems to be doing the right thing. I think
oversize trees can still make it into the population either through
Initialisation or cases when the loop runs out of tries. I'm not sure
I understand the code that handles those cases (after "// So now we
will transfer to a tree which has res1 or res2 valid, otherwise it'll
just get replicated") -- should I be editing that too?

For reference, I'm looking at the Punch et al paper describing the
Royal Tree problem, where both a max depth and a max size are used.
