""" ===== Roget ===== Build a directed graph of 1022 categories and 5075 cross-references as defined in the 1879 version of Roget's Thesaurus. This example is described in Section 1.2 of Donald E. Knuth, "The Stanford GraphBase: A Platform for Combinatorial Computing", ACM Press, New York, 1993. http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/sgb.html Note that one of the 5075 cross references is a self loop yet it is included in the graph built here because the standard networkx `DiGraph` class allows self loops. (cf. 400pungency:400 401 403 405).
