Static analysis complained that:

  child_range(&Init, &Init+1);

in the children member function was potentially out of bounds. This is false b/c it is forming an iterator range but it would be invalid if Init was a nullptr.

I add an assertion in the constructor for this and remove to FIXME checks that are related to this. I checked the various usages and we always valid the argument is not nullptr.
