This fixes a bug in
mergeOverlappingSets
. The function returned more elements than it was supposed to.I took this chance and reimplemented the function using a simpler and a lot more efficient approach.
Further, I changed the function's interface to take and return arrays instead of sets. This make a lot of copying and array-to-set conversions unnecessary.
This is a branch of #320 because the new test case only reproduces the bug I fixed with the new and improved
getLongestPrefix
.
