As evidenced by the change to time truthiness, yes, that's the
object's fault. If your RedBlackTree object were always *true*, I'd
call it a missing feature ("please add a __bool__ that distinguishes
empty trees from trees with content"), but always *false* would be a
bug. A SortedDict implies by its name that it should be extremely
dict-like, so that would be a strong argument for its truthiness to
follow a dict's. Either way, the misbehaviour gets pointed back at the
object in question.
