I'm +1 on SingleLinkage as well.
As I commented on the PR, the MST clustering algorithm is also known as
"Friends of Friends" in some circles, but I think that's probably a less
familiar name. People may also search for this under the name Hierarchical
Clustering -- that is, using multiple edge thresholds leads to a nested
hierarchy of clusters. To maximize usefulness, I think the docstring and
narrative docs should mention the alternative names.
Great work on this, Robert,
Jake
