@mengxr This PR actually implements non-temporal (by temporal you mean
consecutive correct?) sequential pattern mining, see the L86 and L149. My
suggestion was to make the definition of a sequence consistent with the Han et
al paper (An **itemset** is a subset of items. A **sequence** is an ordered
list of itemsets) since this PR currently defines a sequence to be a ordered
list of singleton itemsets.
