In ms609/TreeSearch: Phylogenetic Analysis with Discrete Character Data

#' @param concavity Determines the degree to which extra steps beyond the first
#' are penalized.  Specify a numeric value to use implied weighting
#' \insertCite{Goloboff1993}{TreeSearch}; `concavity` specifies _k_ in
#'  _k_ / _e_ + _k_. A value of 10 is recommended;
#' TNT sets a default of 3, but this is too low in some circumstances
#' \insertCite{Goloboff2018,Smith2019}{TreeSearch}.
#' Better still explore the sensitivity of results under a range of
#' concavity values, e.g. `k = 2 ^ (1:7)`.
#' Specify `Inf` to weight each additional step equally.
#' Specify `"profile"` to employ profile parsimony \insertCite{Faith2001}{TreeSearch}.
