The way Node stores string fragments alongside internal fields is problematic:
new Trie(['child']).optimize()
Uncaught TypeError: this.child is not a function

"child" is a property holding a Node reference, not the child method from the prototype.
This could possibly be worked around by usage of Symbols to insure internal fields/method never conflict with string fragment properties.
