public interface TypedEdge<T>
extends Edge

An interface for edges in multigraphs. In a multigraph, two vertices v₁ and v₂ may have mulitple edges between then provided that the for any two edges !e1.equals(e2).

This interface allows for a multigraph to have mutliple types of edges that extend from a common type. For example, a graph that represents cities may contain edges indicating the different types of transportation (e.g. car, train, bus) between two cities, where those types each have their own subtypes (e.g., airline carrier, bus company, etc.)
