An Algorithm for Erdos-Bacon Number Minimization

The idea is to includes enough co-authors (and some actors) to optimize the combinational Erdos-Bacon number. I appreciate that the authors actually filmed a "movie" with someone who was an extra in a movie with Sigourney Weaver, who was in a movie with Bacon, in order to establish an upper-bound of six on their paper.

Another way to put this is that the language extension successfully ferrets out not just uses of the new feature but mentions of it as well.
