A RRR-TL Traversal is an hierarchical algorithm that gives each sub-tree equal priority among its siblings with respect to its parent recursively
// ====================================================================
// RECURSIVE ROUND ROBIN (RRR) TREE LEAF TRAVERSAL ALGORITHM (JS ES6+)
// METHOD IDEA: Cagil Seker [ÇAĞIL ŞEKER] (MadChuckle) - cagils@gmail.com
// SAMPLE ALGORITHM: Apass.Jack (https://cs.stackexchange.com/users/91753/apass-jack)
// ====================================================================
// This is a gist for my (MadChuckle) question at StackOverflow
// Link: 'https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/95951/is-there-a-name-and-efficient-algorithm-for-this-tree-traversal-method'
//
// This is based on the the pseudo code (and later an implementation) from Apass.Jack
