You get what exceptions/tracebacks?

You know, we *ALWAYS* need this information!

An out of order item in a BTree indicates that
its keys are not persistently ordered. This corrupts the tree
and part of its content can no longer be accessed via subscription.

You can fix this with the following steps ("tree" is assumed to be
the "BTree" instance):

  *  items = list(tree.items())

  *  # remove the faulty item[s] from "items"

  *  tree.clear() # clear the tree

  *  tree.update(items) # recreate

  *  get_transaction().commit() # commit the transaction

Sure, it fixes physical damage to the storage file
and not BTrees inconsistencies.
