% This file contains functionality to find a 'good' colouring of a graph.
% The predicate graph_colour__group_elements(set(set(T)), set(set(T))),
% takes a set of sets each containing elements that touch, and returns
% a set of sets each containing elements that can be assigned the same
% colour, ensuring that touching elements have different colours.
% ("Good" means using as few colours as possible.)
