Comment (by jmantysalo):

 True, minimal certificate for non-semimodularity would be two elements.
 They can be extracted from this pentagon.

 What about non-modular and non-distributive lattices? Should we return
 elements `(a, b, x)` violating definition of modularity, and same with
 distributivity?

 After this we could think about best implementation. Maybe
 `is_distributive(certificate=True)` should first call
 `is_modular(certificate=True)` which could call `is_upper_semimodular()`
 and `is_lower(semimodular)`. But if a non-distributive lattice is modular,
 then `is_distributive()` runs it's own subprogram to find the three
 elements of `M_3` sublattice.
