+ The digraphs managed by this module are stored in
+ <seealso marker="ets">ETS tables</seealso>.
+ That implies the following:

+ <item>Only the process that created the digraph is allowed to update it.</item>
+ <item>Digraphs will not be garbage collected. The ETS tables used for a
+ digraph will only be deleted when <seealso marker="#delete/1"><c>delete/1</c></seealso>
+ is called or the process that created the digraph terminates.</item>
+ <item>A digraph is a mutable data structure.</item>
