Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Hi Nathann,

 I added some documentation, please start editing from u/vdelecroix/16231

 If `n` is a prime power, there is an optimal construction, i.e. a
 `TD(n+1,n)` and there is no need to check for product or Wilson
 construction. But right now the code in `transversal_design` does. For
 prime powers there are two places where some code is implemented:
 - in orthogonal_array (you refer to theorem 6.39 and 6.40 of Stinson)
 - in mutually_orthogonal_latin_squares (you refer to section 6.4.1 of
 Stinson)
 Are the outputs equivalent? Note that there is no way to test it with the
 current code, unless I use the forbidden `who_asked` parameter. Would it
 be possible to isolate the two constructions in two functions? Why do we
 need two constructions for the case of `n` being a prime power?

 Vincent
