/// Combination generator.
///
/// Example: given input {{0, 1}, {2}, {3, 4}} it will produce the following
/// combinations: {0, 2, 3}, {0, 2, 4}, {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 4}.
///
/// It is useful to think of input as vector-of-vectors, where the
/// outer vector is the variable space, and inner vector is choice space.
/// The number of choices for each variable can be different.
///
/// As for implementation, it is useful to think of this as a weird number,
/// where each digit (==variable) may have different base (==number of choices).
/// Thus modelling of 'produce next combination' is exactly analogous to the
/// incrementing of an number - increment lowest digit (pick next choice for the
/// variable), and if it wrapped to the beginning then increment next digit.
