  /- we only need to check the inequality `≤`, as the other one follows from the previous lemma.
       As the Gromov-Hausdorff distance is an infimum, we need to check that the Hausdorff distance
       in the optimal coupling is smaller than the Hausdorff distance of any coupling.
       First, we check this for couplings which already have small Hausdorff distance: in this
       case, the induced "distance" on `X ⊕ Y` belongs to the candidates family introduced in the
       definition of the optimal coupling, and the conclusion follows from the optimality
       of the optimal coupling within this family.
