Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing directed edge types in Graphs.jl and how they are used for undirected graphs. Determine whether an undirected edge should behave like a set and whether the endpoint-query syntax should change. Done requires an agreed API design and corresponding implementation and tests, but the issue does not name specific files or tests.

Description

question

The edge types in Graphs.jl are directed but used for undirected graphs too, in sometimes incoherent ways. Should there be an undirected edge acting like a set? And if so, should the syntax change, eg. other_endpoint(e,u)?
