This PR adds two new structs:
DagExpr. This generalizesRecExprby allowing multiple roots. It also maintains strong invariants on minimality and canonical order, essentially being a unique representation of a given DAG for the roots.BeamExtract. A DAG extractor based onDagExprthat uses beam search to approximate the optimal.One cool thing I realized while building this is that if we add a minor restriction on
Language(the ordering of nodes is preserved under a monotonically increasing map of node Ids), then the merging twoDagExprs can be done using a linear time merge sort variant.I'm wondering if this minor restriction should be added to the docs of
Languageas a requirement, or an additional marker trait languages need to implement.It may make sense to use
DagExprfor theLpExtractresult as well, but that would be breaking the public API.
