Hmmm...after reading this documentation, it doesn't sound like they are identical. Specifically, this part explains how the graph queries maintain the integrity of a graph: https://docs.arangodb.com/Graphs/index.html#manipulating-collections-of-named-graphs-with-regular-document-functions
Is this true of the JS driver operations? Edge collection operations do NOT maintain the graph integrity, but edge GRAPH collection operations DO? This is an important distinction, yes?
