+    strongly_connected_components_tarjan(g)
+
+Compute the strongly connected components of a directed graph `g` using Tarjan's algorithm.
+
+Return an array of arrays, each of which is the entire connected component.
+
+### Implementation Notes
+The returned components will be ordered reverse topologically.
+
+# Examples
