Undirected Graph

i
-- A graph which is guaranteed to always have edges with the same weight in both directions ("undirected edges");
-- under the hood this is still stored as a directed graph.
-- Thus, for consistency, edges (except for trivial cycles) will be iterated twice when using `:edges()`,
-- once as `x, y, weight` and a second time as `y, x, weight`.
