I see your point. Maybe don't have the newline between the get and
set, though, to match the existing style. And, the note about the
assertion seems unnecessary.
I suggest putting something about what general area this deals with.
Perhaps something like the following:
"Get/set leaf page highkey's link. During the second phase of
deletion, the target leaf page's high key may point to an ancestor
page (at all other times, the leaf level high key's link is not used).
See the nbtree README for full details."
