+Walks the tree starting from root, applying handler to each node.
+Nodes that can have children are visited twice, once on the way in
+and once on the way out. handler is a function that takes a node
+pointer, an integer direction (1 for entering, 0 for leaving),
+and a pointer to a state structure that can be consulted and
+updated by the handler. The handler should return 1 on success,
+0 on failure. cmark_walk returns 1 if it traversed the entire
+tree, 0 if it quit early in response to a 0 status from the
+handler.
