 Replying to [comment:57 ncohen]:

 > What do you want us to compare in the naming of this function and the
 content of #19123?

 These two functions do exactly same thing when they return a Boolean
 value. So should they have same name? OTOH when returning non-boolean
 values it is somewhat strange to return posets that are actually
 semilattices from decomposition of lattice.

 about the name.

 It could be a building block for series-parallel decomposition.
