Description:

def expand_labels(labels, subtopic=False):
    '''Expand a set of labels that define a connected component.

    ``labels`` must define a *positive* connected component: it is all
    of the edges that make up the *single* connected component in the
    :class:`LabelStore`. expand will ignore subtopic assignments, and
    annotator_id will be an arbitrary one selected from ``labels``.

    Note that this function only returns the expanded labels, which
    is guaranteed to be disjoint with the given ``labels``. This
    requirement implies that ``labels`` is held in memory to ensure
    that no duplicates are returned.

    If ``subtopic`` is ``True``, then it is assumed that ``labels``
    defines a ``subtopic`` connected component. In this case, subtopics
    are included in the expanded labels.

    :param labels: iterable of :class:`Label` for the connected component.
    :rtype: generator of expanded :class:`Label`s only

    # fields that we may want to preserve.
