This is still work in progress, but:
graph.New(MyGraph)(myNodes) maps MyGraph to graph.Graph. From
MyGraph.Nodes, MyNode (not MyNodes, there is a typo in the example)
maps to graph.Node, and from MyNode.Edges(), MyEdge maps to
graph.Edge.
I wrote
type MyGraph graph.Graph {
}
for the declaration of the MyGraph type as an instantiation of the
template graph.Graph, and that also could be used for the same type
inference.
