/// Structure for the SuperCell parameters
///
/// ### Fields
///
/// **SuperCell params**
///
/// * `walk_length` - Walk length for the Walktrap algorithm
/// * `graining_factor` - Graining level of data (proportion of number of single
///   cells in the initial dataset to the number of metacells in the final
///   dataset)
/// * `linkage_dist` - Which type of distance metric to use for the linkage.
///
/// **General kNN params**
///
/// * `knn_params` - All of the kNN parameters

/// SuperCell algorithm
///
/// ### Params
///
/// * `knn_mat` - The kNN matrix
/// * `walk_length` - Walk length for the Walktrap algorithm
/// * `no_meta_cells` - Number of communities, i.e., metacells to identify
/// * `linkage_dist` - The distance metric to use for the linkage.
/// * `verbose` - Controls the verbosity of the function
///
/// ### Returns
///
/// Membership of included cells to MetaCells.
