       we argue that the distance is realized by some coupling.
        In this coupling, the two spaces are at zero Hausdorff distance,

    /- To show the triangular inequality between `X`, `Y` and `Z`,
        realize an optimal coupling between `X` and `Y` in a space `γ1`,
        and an optimal coupling between `Y` and `Z` in a space `γ2`.
        Then, glue these metric spaces along `Y`. We get a new space `γ`
        in which `X` and `Y` are optimally coupled, as well as `Y` and `Z`.
