/// \brief Maximum cardinality matching in general graphs
/// This class implements Edmonds' alternating forest matching algorithm
/// for finding a maximum cardinality matching in a general undirected graph.
/// It can be started from an arbitrary initial matching
/// (the default is the empty one).
/// The dual solution of the problem is a map of the nodes to
/// \ref MaxMatching::Status "Status", having values \c EVEN (or \c D),
/// \c ODD (or \c A) and \c MATCHED (or \c C) defining the Gallai-Edmonds
/// decomposition of the graph. The nodes in \c EVEN/D induce a subgraph
/// with factor-critical components, the nodes in \c ODD/A form the
/// canonical barrier, and the nodes in \c MATCHED/C induce a graph having
/// a perfect matching. The number of the factor-critical components
/// minus the number of barrier nodes is a lower bound on the
/// unmatched nodes, and the matching is optimal if and only if this bound is
/// tight. This decomposition can be obtained using \ref status() or

/// \f$X\f$, \f$\gamma(X)\f$ is the set of edges with both ends in
/// \f$X\f$ and \f$\mathcal{O}\f$ is the set of odd cardinality
/// subsets of the nodes.
/// The algorithm calculates an optimal matching and a proof of the
/// optimality. The solution of the dual problem can be used to check
