TLinkedBtree = class(TObject)

Note: A B-Tree of TBtreeObjects with automatic Left/Right etc Links

Linked B-Tree which does not Free nodes on Destroy

 
Note: Search/Find should be implemented by descendants. Compare must always be implemented by descendants. Blank keys are not included in the linked list. Blank key always compares as higher than anything. Linked list allows easy traversal in either direction. Also allows implementation of the rebalance function.

Parent key of left node will become the start key of right node

Borrow does not propogate to parent since their is a promote and a demote
Borrow can occur in non leaf nodes due to merge of child nodes which demotes
