+(define Node
+  #| A node in a search tree. Contains a pointer to the parent (the node
+    that this is a successor of) and to the actual state for this node. Note
+    that if a state is arrived at by two paths, then there are two nodes with
+    the same state.  Also includes the action that got us to this state, and
+    the total path_cost (also known as g) to reach the node.  Other functions
+    may add an f and h value; see best_first_graph_search and astar_search for
+    an explanation of how the f and h values are handled. You will not need to
+    subclass this class.
