Comment (by jmantysalo):

 Some thoughts, not a clear opinion yet:

 We do have `ordinal_product` already. An "inverse function" of if would be
 `ordinal_factors`, I think. Compare to "factoring (undirected) graphs"
 (done be Nathann IIRC).

 `certificate=True` sounds natural to for example `dimension`: there is not
 **the** set of realizers, just bunch of minimal sets and one of them is
 returned. For this function we do have exact "components", "parts" or
 something like that.

 There is now `is_connected` and `conneced_components`. It would be
 orthogonal design to have two functions for this one also.
