+## This file contains methods for congruences on finite (0-)simple Rees
+## (0-)matrix semigroups, using linked triples.  See Howie 3.5-6, and see
+## MT's reports "Computing with Congruences on Finite 0-Simple Semigroups"
+## and MSc thesis "Computing with Semigroup Congruences" chapter 3.

+
+# This file is organised as follows:
+# 1. Congruences: representation specific operations/functions
+# 2. Congruences: representation specific constructors
+# 3. Congruences: changing representation, generating pairs
+# 4. Congruences: printing and viewing
+# 5. Congruences: mandatory methods for CanComputeEquivalenceRelationPartition
+# 6. Congruences: non-mandatory methods for
+#    CanComputeEquivalenceRelationPartition, where we have a superior method
+#    for this particular representation.
+# 7. Equivalence classes: representation specific constructors
+# 8. Equivalence classes: mandatory methods for
+#    CanComputeEquivalenceRelationPartition
+# 9. Congruence lattice
