Jake Mannix commented on GIRAPH-221:
------------------------------------

Personally I like the syntactic sugar of the enhanced for-loop, but it's not a 
huge deal.  

But to come back to the original question in the ticket, what exactly is 
confusing about considering Vertex as effectively a Collection of edges?  
That's what they really *are*, right?  So why shouldn't they be Iterable?
                
> Make iteration over edges more explicit
