Comment (by ncohen):

 Yooooooo,

 > I think that "visible" poset functions, i.e. those not starting with
 `_`, should give meaningful set of operations to do with posets. It does
 not always directly correspond with good structure for internal functions.
 So should I add a `_`-function to `posets.py` or add a strange option for
 `ordinal_decomposition` to be used just for series-parallel decomposition?
 Both options sounds strange, as the already have "internal" class.

 You seem to say that implementing this function would have you implement a
 helper function, which you do not think would be user-friendly enough to
 deserve being public. Could you tell me what this function would do? I do
 not see what you have in mind. Surely you are not talking of the
 `ordinal_sum_decomposition` itself, as you made it publicly available in
 this branch?
