 Hellooooooooooo !!

 > The set of independent sets has an acylcic oriented graph structure (two
 ind. set are neighbors if you pass from one to the other by removing or
 adding a vertex). What you do in your algorithm is that, by considering an
 order on the vertices, you can easily build a tree out of this acyclic
 graph. So, in principle, it would possible to explore the graph with much
 less backtracking... I wonder if this is along those lines that something
 clever is done in networkx...

 Hmmmmm... I don't get it `O_o`

 If you do nothing but talk of the exploration tree then I do not see how
 you can beat this implementation : it goes through this tree and only
 remembers the name of the current node... I don't see it getting much
 cheaper `O_o`

 > > I can do it. I don't mind.

 Hmmm... Turns out that when looking at the code again, it required to
 store a variable containing the current number of elements in the set, and
 add +=1 and -=1 in several places... Soooooo if you don't need it I would
 prefer not to implement this here. I added a message saying that the
 iterator trick is not computationally smart.

 > on rc1 it works fine...

 I fixed the segfault on empty graphs, and they are now supported too by
 this class. This way nothing bad happens when it is called from
 Graph.cliques_maximal.

 Patch updated ! `;-)`
