Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

Currently, the system is designed to, in principle, be able to un-combine networks in any order. It may make sense to instead mandate that the networks be uncombined in the same order as they are combined. This will simplify the data structure and save memory. It may also make sense to store subnetwork information not on vertices but on subnetworks (and the .subnetattr of the combined network).

uncombine_networks() can also be simplified, since we would then only need to take the .subnetcache networks and copy the edges.

This is related to #42, since it needs to assume that the uncombining is done in reverse order of the combining.
