/-- Consider a function `d : X → X → ℝ≥0` such that `d x x = 0` and `d x y = d y x` for all `x`,
`y`. Let `dist` be the largest pseudometric distance such that `dist x y ≤ d x y`, see
`PseudoMetricSpace.ofPreNNDist`. Suppose that `d` satisfies the following triangle-like
inequality: `d x₁ x₄ ≤ 2 * max (d x₁ x₂, d x₂ x₃, d x₃ x₄)`. Then `d x y ≤ 2 * dist x y` for all
`x`, `y`. -/

  /- We need to show that `d x y` is at most twice the sum `L` of `d xᵢ xᵢ₊₁` over a path
    `x₀=x, ..., xₙ=y`. We prove it by induction on the length `n` of the sequence. Find an edge that
    splits the path into two parts of almost equal length: both `d x₀ x₁ + ... + d xₖ₋₁ xₖ` and
    `d xₖ₊₁ xₖ₊₂ + ... + d xₙ₋₁ xₙ` are less than or equal to `L / 2`.
    Then `d x₀ xₖ ≤ L`, `d xₖ xₖ₊₁ ≤ L`, and `d xₖ₊₁ xₙ ≤ L`, thus `d x₀ xₙ ≤ 2 * L`. -/
