Remarks
old=^(nil a b c), new=r yields ^(r a b c) old=^(a b c), new=r yields ^(r ^(a b c)) If newRoot is a nil-rooted single child tree, use the single child as the new root node. old=^(nil a b c), new=^(nil r) yields ^(r a b c) old=^(a b c), new=^(nil r) yields ^(r ^(a b c)) If oldRoot was null, it's ok, just return newRoot (even if isNil). old=null, new=r yields r old=null, new=^(nil r) yields ^(nil r) Return newRoot. Throw an exception if newRoot is not a simple node or nil root with a single child node--it must be a root node. If newRoot is ^(nil x) return x as newRoot. Be advised that it's ok for newRoot to point at oldRoot's children; i.e., you don't have to copy the list. We are constructing these nodes so we should have this control for efficiency.
