Surely this walk is only applicable to some particular traversal of the
tree, and thus a bit is not needed at all.  Surely the one walk that
needs it can explicitly choose to iterate the fields simply by
recursively calling walk_tree.

Of course, he's not given any specifics whatsoever about what led him
to modify walk_tree.  Only that at some nebulous point he needed to see
the fields.
