I admit the name is terrible :-) It's a placeholder until I can find out 
how it should be called.

I've considered using the word "combinations", but in statistics it has 
a different meaning than what this algorithm does, so that's why I 
didn't pick it.

Good suggestion, I should add this as a caution to the user.
