(** This module offers the abstract data type of a partition of
classes of equivalent items (Union & Find). *)
(** The items are of type [Item.t], that is, they have to obey
a total order, but also they must be printable to ease
debugging. The signature [Item] is the input signature of
the functor {!Partition.Make}. *)

{!Partition.Make}. *)

the equivalence of items [i] and [j]. If both [i] and [j] are
already known to be equivalent, then [equiv i j p == p]. *)

the fact that item [i] is an alias of item [j]. This is the
same as [equiv i j p], except that it is guaranteed that the
item [i] is not the representative of its equivalence class in
[alias i j p]. *)

[i] in the partition [p]. The built-in exception [Not_found]
is raised if [i] is not in [p]. *)

partition [p] on standard output, based on [Ord.to_string]. *)
