  Description     : header-only library for boundary matrix reductions over Z/2Z

PHAT is a C++ library for performing the filtered Z/2Z (co)boundary
matrix operations commonly needed when computing (persistent)
(co)homology in topological data analysis. The library implements
several of the state-of-the-art algorithms in the field of topological
data analysis.

As of version 1.5, the library seems to be slow-moving and solidified
upstream.

The package is useful as a fundamental tool in the mathematical field
of topological analysis. Having stabilized upstream, and consisting
only of headers and a simple standalone binary built from those, it
should be easy to maintain by myself.

I do need a sponsor. I will inquire with the sponsors of other
packages I maintain.
