Thanks for your answer, now after adding this associative property map,
should I care about any problem with the vertex/edge iterator stability or
invalidation (like it is the case for vecS) if I use the method described
here
http://www.cs.brown.edu/~jwicks/boost/libs/graph/doc/adjacency_list.html(using
next etc) ?
