/** Graph clustering based on edge betweenness centrality.
 * 
 * This algorithm implements graph clustering based on edge
 * betweenness centrality. It is an iterative algorithm, where in each
 * step it compute the edge betweenness centrality (via @ref
 * brandes_betweenness_centrality) and removes the edge with the
 * maximum betweenness centrality. The @p done function object
 * determines when the algorithm terminates (the edge found when the
 * algorithm terminates will not be removed).
 *
 * @param g The graph on which clustering will be performed. The type
 * of this parameter (@c MutableGraph) must be a model of the
 * VertexListGraph, IncidenceGraph, EdgeListGraph, and Mutable Graph
 * concepts.
 *
 * @param done The function object that indicates termination of the
 * algorithm. It must be a ternary function object thats accepts the
 * maximum centrality, the descriptor of the edge that will be
 * removed, and the graph @p g.
 *
 * @param edge_centrality (UTIL/OUT) The property map that will store
 * the betweenness centrality for each edge. When the algorithm
 * terminates, it will contain the edge centralities for the
 * graph. The type of this property map must model the
 * ReadWritePropertyMap concept. Defaults to an @c
 * iterator_property_map whose value type is 
 * @c Done::centrality_type and using @c get(edge_index, g) for the 
 * index map.
 *
 * @param vertex_index (IN) The property map that maps vertices to
 * indices in the range @c [0, num_vertices(g)). This type of this
 * property map must model the ReadablePropertyMap concept and its
 * value type must be an integral type. Defaults to 
 * @c get(vertex_index, g).
