Errata:
RP uses highest margin to resolve Smith sets. It evaluates losers
first when rankings are tied. I knew that.
Elimination: discard the row with the lowest sum, and the column for
the same candidate. (That might not have been quite clear).
I hadn't heard of Nanson before (although I did enjoy the song
"Mmm-bop"). It's not clear to me whether my method corresponds
exactly to Nanson, or if the use of only the winner's margins makes a
useful difference.
