My point was, you don't have an index-interface in plf::colony, iterating
(that what plf::colony provides) over the entire plf::colony is not very
usefull, not to say almost meaningless. The LEMON Graph(s) resemble a
doubly linked list implemented on top of a std::vector. The range of
uint32_t large is enough to cater for any DAG imaginable. A 64-bit app
would need twice the storage using pointers, which would affect
cache-locality.
