For a set of clustering labels, this function computes the comembership of all pairs of observations. Basically, two observations are said to be comembers if they are clustered together.

Tibshirani and Walther (2005) use the term 'co-membership', which we shorten to 'comembership'. Some authors instead use the terms 'connectivity' or 'co-occurrence'.
We use the Rcpp
package to improve the runtime speed of this
function.
