//! Proper interval graph predicate (ALGO-PR-115).
//!
//! A graph is a proper interval graph (equivalently, unit interval
//! graph) if it can be represented as an intersection graph of
//! intervals on the real line where no interval properly contains
//! another. This is equivalent to being both an interval graph and
//! claw-free, or equivalently chordal + claw-free + AT-free.
//!
//! A simpler characterization: a graph is a proper interval graph iff
//! it is chordal and does not contain an induced claw (`K_{1,3}`) and
//! admits a vertex ordering where the closed neighborhoods are
//! consecutive (consecutive-1's property in the augmented adjacency
//! matrix). We use the characterization: proper interval ⟺ chordal +
//! claw-free (Roberts 1969 / Wegner 1967).
//!
//! Returns `false` for directed graphs.
