I tried using the zipper data structure and immediately noticed, that
there is a function I need, which isn't there.

I would like to have something like root-loc (with a better name), that
would do exactly what root does, except it would return a tree location,
not just the root node.

Or perhaps root should return a location, and root-node should return
the node?

The reason for this is simple: I walk and "modify" my tree in a number
of ways, and then I want to zip things up to the root and pass the
entire tree to another function. From what I understand, currently the
only way is to get the root node and then recreate the entire zipper
structure. This seems unnecessary.

Am I missing something, or is that a worthwile addition?
