Description

I think it would also be useful to have a function that extracts the grouped sets at the end of a DisjointSets structure (similar to connected components of a graph).

This is basically finding equivalence classes of an equivalence relation. Maybe that should actually be a new data structure (or in a new package).

Research direction

Start by locating the DisjointSets implementation and its existing tests. Determine whether the grouped sets belong as a function on DisjointSets or in a new data structure or package. Done means the chosen API returns the equivalence classes correctly and has coverage for representative grouped sets.
