Ok, but this function is basically for the 'addition' path. Well it's
also used by the 'collapsing' path but it never allocates new node
since it reuses the existing ones. I'll prepare a different patchset
for the 'addition' path later..

It seems not called in the collapsing path. It should be handled by
a separate patchset.
