Maybe there is another clear picture, if you think of slightly
more complex structure than a list. You can "ask" a node, "do
you have a predecessor/successor?", but what question are you
going to ask a graph node?
For example, if a star is a node with indegree >= 5, does it
make sense to employ any kind of ihneritance to reflect an
indegree of 5?
