Use `Node*[]` for the children type. That way the compiler
knows the size of the (previously) problematic member. In other
words, instead of the need to know `Node` size, the compiler
will not look further, it's a pointer.
This isn't the issue exactly. `Node[]` is a pointer as well.
The issue is that the template recursively depends on itself.
You would run into the same issue if the template recursed on the
type of the pointed-at value.
