Comment (by jmantysalo):

 First of all, I am very glad to see someone interested in making better
 documentation, even when it comes to small things!

 Should we have even manual for documenting "common special types" of
 functions? "If the function has no arguments and only returns `True` or
 `False`, then do like this: - -"?

 What do you think about `hamiltonian_cycle()` and `is_hamiltonian()` on
 generic graphs vs. `dimension()` and it's `certificate`-option on posets?
 Those seems to be OK, but in general: when to have "factor" and when
 "is_prime(certificate=True)"?
