# Transform Set of Strings to Common Prefix Notation
## Description
Presented with a series of lines on standard input, the program will
print an expression on standard output that denotes the line strings
in a syntax described in <https://tk-sls.de/wp/6071>.
The expression is suitable for Bourne Again Shell brace expansion.
## Test
```
$ python3 trie.py << EOF
a
ab
abc
EOF
```
Expected output:
```
a{,b{,c}}
```
Test if the output is accurate:
```
$ bash -c 'echo a{,b{,c}}'
```
Expected output:
```
a ab abc
```
