  /// \ref NetworkSimplex implements the primal Network Simplex algorithm
  /// for finding a \ref min_cost_flow "minimum cost flow".
  /// This algorithm is a specialized version of the linear programming
  /// simplex method directly for the minimum cost flow problem.
  /// It is one of the most efficient solution methods.
  ///
  /// In general this class is the fastest implementation available
  /// in LEMON for the minimum cost flow problem.
  /// Moreover it supports both directions of the supply/demand inequality
  /// constraints. For more information see \ref SupplyType.
  ///
  /// Most of the parameters of the problem (except for the digraph)
  /// can be given using separate functions, and the algorithm can be
  /// executed using the \ref run() function. If some parameters are not
  /// specified, then default values will be used.

  /// \tparam GR The digraph type the algorithm runs on.
  /// \tparam V The value type used for flow amounts, capacity bounds
  /// and supply values in the algorithm. By default it is \c int.
  /// \tparam C The value type used for costs and potentials in the
  /// algorithm. By default it is the same as \c V.
  ///
  /// \warning Both value types must be signed and all input data must
  /// be integer.

  /// implementations, from which the most efficient one is used
