+Let us take an example:
+
+  (list->tree '(1 3 5 7 9 11))
+
+We do 
+(partial-tree '(1 3 5 7 9 11) 6) 
+  => (partial-tree '(1 3 5 7 9 11) 2)
+    => (partial-tree '(1 3 5 7 9 11) 0)
+
+At this point, we have found a leaf node. So, we push the null list,
+take the first element on the list as the parent and look for the 
+right tree. The call returns to the previous call to partial-tree
+(i.e. (partial-tree '(1 3 5 7 9 11) 2)) which means n is 2.
+
+The right-size = (- n (+ left-size 1)) => (- 2 (+ 0 1)) => 1
+So we invoke partial-tree for the right tree.
+
+(partial-tree '(3 5 7 9 11) 1)
+  => (partial-tree '(3 5 7 9 11) 0)
+
+This will push an empty list (as the left node) and look for right node.
+(partial-tree '(5 7 9 11) 0)
+ 
+this gives us the subtree (1 () (3 () ()))
+
+At every stage of making a subtree, we cons it with the remaining elements.
+The tree looks like this:
+
+               5
+              / \
+             /   \
+            1     9
+           / \    /\
+          /   \  7  11
+        ()     3
+              / \
+             /   \
+            ()   ()
+
+part b. For each node, we do a cons of the tree under the node with the remaining
+elements. So the order of growth is O(n).

+The method will fail if say, t2, t3 and t4 can only be coreced into t1 but the call to apply-generic does not have an argument of type t1.
+Instead, if we have a way to figure out the relation between types and the hierarchy, then we can deal with it better.
