How many times have users had to create and maintain an std::map<std::string, vertex_descriptor> to do this same thing? Too many, in my opinion.
How true :) That's a great idea. It sounds like the approach is actually similar to my idea for weighted graphs, albeit for a very different purpose. I think there are a couple of nice concepts in here somewhere.
Agreed.
I'd actually like to take a whack at getting some of this work started. I may even be able to find a couple of other students who would be willing to help (it's a strong maybe). If you're interested, I can create a branch in the sandbox and start writing up a laundry list.
Yes, please go ahead and create a branch. We probably want to treat this more like a sandbox library (with sandbox layout), where the boost/graph and libs/graph subdirectories are branches off the trunk's boost/graph and libs/graph. In this case, we might as well just put it in the sandbox: sandbox/projects/graph-v2 - Doug
