    Parameters
    ----------

    weight : string or None, optional (default='weight')
        The node attribute that holds the integer value used as a weight.

    Notes
    -----
    The implementation is recursive, and therefore it may run into recursion
    depth issues if G contains a clique whose number of nodes is close to the
    recursion depth limit.

    At each search node, the algorithm greedily constructs a weighted
    independent set cover of part of the graph in order to find a small set of
    nodes on which to branch.  The algorithm is very similar to the algorithm
    of Tavares et al. [1]_, other than the fact that the NetworkX version does
    not use bitsets.  This style of algorithm for maximum weight clique (and
    maximum weight independent set, which is the same problem but on the
    complement graph) has a decades-long history.  See Algorithm B of Warren
    and Hicks [2]_ and the references in that paper.
