Description: Builds matched nulls for cluster-count claims: synthetic
        twins of a dataset that preserve every marginal distribution
        and the full correlation matrix while containing no cluster
        structure by construction. A reported number of clusters or
        "types" can then be tested against what the data's own margins
        and covariance already produce, using any clustering pipeline.
        A t-copula option adds tail dependence to the null, so that an
        apparent excess of clusters can be checked against a
        heavier-tailed alternative before it is read as evidence of
        types. Implements the matched-null procedure of Meng (2026)
        "Types Without Taxa" <https://osf.io/2ekcg>.
