I've just realised that there's an implementation error in the script I
posted, which means that it doesn't reinforce one of the rules (although
conincidentally it doesn't violate it in the answer it produces on the
test case).

Exercises for the readers at home:
- what was the implementation error
- why wasn't the rule violated in the test case?
