In tidyclust: A Common API to Clustering

#' Extract cluster assignments from model
#'
#' When applied to a fitted cluster specification, returns a tibble with cluster
#' assignments of the data used to train the model.
#'
#' @param object An fitted [`cluster_spec`] object.
#' @param ... Other arguments passed to methods. Using the `prefix` allows you
#'   to change the prefix in the levels of the factor levels.
#'
#' @details
#'
#' Some model types such as K-means as seen in [k_means()] stores the
#' cluster assignments in the object itself. leading the use of this function to
#' act as an simple extract. Other model types such as Hierarchical
#' (Agglomerative) Clustering as seen in [hier_clust()], are fit in such a way
#' that the number of clusters can be determined at any time after the fit.
#' Setting the `num_clusters` or `cut_height` in this function will be used to
#' determine the clustering when reported.
#'
#' The ordering of the clusters is such that the first observation in the
#' training data set will be in cluster 1, the next observation that doesn't
#' belong to cluster 1 will be in cluster 2, and so on and forth. As the
#' ordering of clustering doesn't matter, this is done to avoid identical sets
#' of clustering having different labels if fit multiple times.

#' `extract_cluster_assignment()` is a part of a trio of functions doing
#' similar things:
#'
#' - [extract_cluster_assignment()] returns the cluster assignments of the
#'   training observations
#' - [extract_centroids()] returns the location of the centroids
#' - \code{\link[=predict.cluster_fit]{predict()}} returns the cluster a new
#'   observation belongs to
#'
#' @return A `tibble::tibble()` with 1 column named `.cluster`. This tibble will
#'   correspond the the training data set.
