-The signature of this function may change in the future to include a new parameter, `_number`,
-which indicates the number of components computed by [boost_connected_components]. This

+These functions compute values based on the /geodesic distance/ between
+vertices. The /geodesic distance/ between vertices /u/ and /v/ is defined
+as the shortest-length path between such vertices. It is important to note
+that these functions /do not/ compute these paths or record their distances.
+
+Boost.Graph provides two shortest paths algorithms: [boost_dijkstra_shortest_paths]
+and [boost_bellman_ford_shortest_paths]. Optionally, if the target graph is
+an unweighted, undirected graph, shortest paths can be recorded using
+[boost_breadh_first_search]. Each of these algorithms takes as an input a
+vertex for which the shortest distances are being computed. The output of
+each of these algorithms is a `DistanceMap`, which is (in turn) used as the
+input of these functions. Note then, that these functions compute measures
+of the vertex for which the `DistanceMap` was computed.
+
+The `geodesic_distance(g,dist)` function returns the length of the shortest path
+between two vertices. The source vertex is that for which the `DistanceMap`
+was computed and the target vertex, `v`, is supplied as a parameter. This
+function is an alias for:
+
+ dist[v];
+
+The `mean_geodesic_distance(g,dist,T())` functions return the (arithmatic) mean
+of the geodesic distances between a vertex and all others in the graph. The
+vertex for which this is computed is that for which the `DistanceMap` was
+originally computed. The mean geodesic distance is often given as:
+
+[$images/eq/mean_geodesic.png]
+
+where ['d[sub G](u, v)] is the geodesic distance (shortest path) from vertices
+/u/ to /v/.
+
+The default (first) variant of this function computes and returns the
+average as a `double`. The second variant allows the average and return
+type to be computed as a user-defined type by passing a dummy instance.
+This is useful if the `value_type` of `DistanceMap` is a user-defined or
+otherwise non-trivial.
+
+Note that the geodesic distance between two unconnected vertices is infinite.
+This implies that the mean geodesic distance for an unconnected graph is
+also infinite.
+

+
+[heading Parameters]
+
+[table
+ [[Type] [Parameter] [Description]]
+ [
+ [required, in] [`const Graph& g`]
+ [
+ The graph object for which the distribution will be computed. If
+ the `_distribution` or `_in_distribution` arguments are supplied
+ when calling this function then `_graph` must be a model of
+ [BoostBidirectionalGraph]. If only `_out_distribution` is supplied,
+ then `_graph` must be a model of [BoostIncidenceGraph].
+ ]
+ ]
+ [
+ [required, in] [`vertex_descriptor v`]
+ [
+ The target vertex to which the geodisic distance is returned. The
+ source vertex is made implicit by the `DistanceMap`.
+ ]
+ ]
+ [
+ [required, in] [`DistanceMap dist`]
+ [
+ The `dist` parameter provides the distances of the shortest paths
+ from one source vertex to all others in the graph. The `DistanceMap`
+ must be a model of [BoostReadWritePropertyMap], they `key_type` must
+ be the `vertex_descriptor` of `Graph`.
+ ]
+ ]
+ [
+ [required, in] [`const T& dummy`]
+ [
+ An unused instance of the type returned by the `mean_geodesic_distance()`
+ function. If specified, the measure will be computed as an average of
+ this type. This type must essentially be numeric, as it is required to
+ a) support division, b) be initialized with an integer type, and c)
+ have a default of 0.
+ ]
+ ]
+]
+
+[note
+The requirements on `T` indicate a particularly interesting problem because
+division is basically [SgiMonoid] operation - which is probably one of the
+more esoteric concepts in the STL. Curiously, the `identity_element()` operation
+which is an SGI extension and apparently not part of the actual standard.
+
+The correct implemention of `detail::sum_distances()` should take a monoid
+type and use `identity_element(f)` for initializaiton and `f` for the combination.
+
+There's also a sort of strange requirement that we need some testable notion
+of infinite. So, `T` is apparently some monoidic type that also has the notion
+of an infinite value.
+]
+
+[h5 Return Value]
+The `geodesic_distance(g,v,dist)` function returns the distance of the shortest
+path to `v`.
+
+The `mean_geodesic_distance(g,dist)` function returns the (arithmatic) mean of
+the shortest distances to all other vertices.
+
+[h5 Complexity]
+The `geodesic_distance(g,v,dist)` has O(1) time complexity.
+
+The `mean_geodesic_distance(g,dist)` has O(n) time complexity.
+
+[h5 Examples]
+[note
+Write some examples...
