373	LEDA graph adaptors for undirected graphs	Douglas Gregor	Jeremiah Willcock	"{{{
The LEDA graph adaptors in the BGL seem to work properly for 
directed graphs (the LEDA type GRAPH<...>), but there are no 
corresponding adaptors for the undirected LEDA graph type 
(UGRAPH<...>).

Undirected LEDA graphs follow a very different model than the 
undirected graphs in the BGL, which will require some special 
machinery. The LEDA type UGRAPH<...> is actually just a class 
derived from GRAPH<...> that applies the ""make_undirected()"" 
member function upon initialization. make_undirected() moves all of 
the in-edges of each vertex to the out-edges list. This has several 
unfortunate consequences:
  1) The in-degree of an undirected LEDA graph is always zero, even 
when the out-degree is greater than zero. The in_edges list is 
therefore empty.
  2) When traversing the list of out-edges for a vertex u, the edges 
returned may have u as their target but not their source. This breaks 
an important invariant in the BGL, which mandates that source(e, 
g)==u if e came from out_edges(u, g). Similarly for in-edges.

Thus, an undirected LEDA graph adaptor will need to introduce 
special adaptors for the out_edge_iterator and in_edge_iterator 
types, which return a new edge_descriptor type for LEDA that can 
swap the source and target of a LEDA edge as needed. Additionally, 
graph-mutating operations (such as add_edge) may need to ensure 
that the graph remains undirected, as if make_undirected() had been 
called.
