Expand description

GraphWalk is an abstraction over a directed graph = (nodes,edges) made up of node handles N and edge handles E, where each E can be mapped to its source and target nodes.

The lifetime parameter 'a is exposed in this trait (rather than introduced as a generic parameter on each method declaration) so that a client impl can choose N and E that have substructure that is bound by the self lifetime 'a.

The nodes and edges method each return instantiations of Cow<[T]> to leave implementors the freedom to create entirely new vectors or to pass back slices into internally owned vectors.
