+   * @param {any} p - The parameter `p` is a variable of type `any`, which means it can hold any type

+   * satisfies the type `BTNPredicate<NODE>`.

+   * based on that check. If `p` is a function, it will return `true`, indicating that `p` is a
+   * predicate function for a binary tree node. If `p` is not a function, it will return `false`.
