  /// In an automaton with transition-based acceptance, if a state (x)
  /// has two outgoing transitions (x,l,m,y) and (x,l,m,z) going to
  /// states (x) and (y) that have no other incoming edges, then (y)
  /// and (z) can be merged (keeping the union of their outgoing
  /// destinations).
  ///
  /// If the input automaton uses state-based acceptance, running this
  /// function might make the acceptance transition-based, but only if
  /// two states with different acceptance are merged at some point.

  /// \return true iff the automaton was modified.
