+Compute the optimal transport plan between `mu` and `nu` for optimal transport with a 
+general choice of regulariser `math Ω(γ)`. Solves for `gamma` that minimises
+
+```math
+\\inf_{γ ∈ Π(μ, ν)} \\langle γ, C \\rangle + ε Ω(γ)
+```
+
+Supported choices of `math Ω` are:
+- L2: ``Ω(γ) = \\frac{1}{2} \\| γ \\|_2^2``, `reg_func = "L2"`
+
+Supported solution methods are:
+- L2: `method = "lorenz"` for the semi-smooth Newton method of Lorenz et al.
