Hi @mikolalysenko! Just want to log this concern as an issue here so it doesn't slip up.

"Rabin" has a number of connotations (many of them rather negative) within the "hardcore data-nerds" community. If you ship this with the name, it will stick and carry with it all the baggage that comes with "rabin".

In case it helps/inspires: In my own work I labeled a nearly-identical approach the "shrubber collector", because it forms small trees, or shrubberies

Now I'm curious... What are the negative connotations?
