+;;; graph.el --- Working with in-memory graphs -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; Remember that there are optimal three ways to model a graph:
+;; 1. Edge List
+;; 2. Vertex Table (a.k.a. Neighbors Table)
+;; 3. Adjacency Matrix
+;;
+;; I may call these "Edges", "Neighbors", "Adjacencies" to avoid verbose naming.
+;; For now, I'm avoiding dealing with Adjacency Matrices as I don't have an
+;; immediate use-case for them.  This is subject to change.
+;;
+;; There are also hybrid representations of graphs that combine the three
+;; aforementioned models.  I believe Erlang's digraph module models graphs in
+;; Erlang Term Storage (i.e. ETS) this way.
+;; TODO: Verify this claim.
+;;
+;; Graphs can be weighted or unweighted.  They can also be directed or
+;; undirected.
+;; TODO: Create a table explaining all graph variants.
+;;
+;; TODO: Figure out the relationship of this module and tree.el, which should in
+;; principle overlap.

+;; as long as both aren't set, since that introduces consistency issues.  I may
