Research direction

Begin at the MetaGraph(graph) constructor entry point and reproduce the missing label_type error. Clarify whether the expected completion is a copy constructor or alternate views, then define and test the chosen behavior for changing graph properties without mutating the original.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have a graph which I would like to copy and change one aspect of it (e.g. weight function). However, it seems like MetaGraph doesn't have a copy constructor:

MetaGraph(graph)
# UndefKeywordError: keyword argument `label_type` not assigned

It would be great if something like that is added. Or alternatively, provide a way to create different views of the same graph with different properties.
