/**
 * Standard implementation of {@link Network} that supports the options supplied by {@link
 * NetworkBuilder}.
 *
 * <p>This class maintains a map of nodes to {@link NetworkConnections}. This class also maintains a
 * map of edges to reference nodes. The reference node is defined to be the edge's source node on
 * directed graphs, and an arbitrary endpoint of the edge on undirected graphs.
 *

 *  New: Make the content-type header optional for request bodies.
 *  New: `Response.isSuccessful()` is a convenient API to check response codes.
 *  New: The response body can now be read outside of the callback. Response
    bodies must always be closed, otherwise they will leak connections!
 *  New: APIs to create multipart request bodies (`MultipartBuilder`) and form
    encoding bodies (`FormEncodingBuilder`).

 * <p>A {@code ValueGraph} built by this class has the following default properties:

 * <ul>
 *   <li>does not allow self-loops
 *   <li>orders {@link ValueGraph#nodes()} in the order in which the elements were added (insertion
 *       order)
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>{@code ValueGraph}s built by this class also guarantee that each collection-returning accessor

   * <p><b>Examples</b> (all edges are directed facing downwards)
   *
   * <p>The graph below would be valid input with start nodes of {@code a, f, c}. However, if {@code
   * b} were <i>also</i> a start node, then there would be multiple paths to reach {@code e} and
   * {@code h}.
