I don't think it's wrong to not discuss the fact that m isn't used - well,
maybe it is. I fixed the reference to vertices_size_type m = 0 in the docs
on trunk so that it reads edges_size_type.

If I have time, I plan on moving all of the documentation to quickbooks,
with new examples and docs. Hopefully, I can get this done for 1.39. We'll
see.
