GraphBuilder.directed() and GraphBuilder.undirected() should not be parameterized on Object

I feel like I must be missing something, but I can’t figure out at all why these methods don’t look like:

public static <N> GraphBuilder<N> directed() { ... }
public static <N> GraphBuilder<N> undirected() { ... }

The current design means that it’s not possible to get a GraphBuilder parameterized on anything besides Object using these patterns until you call nodeOrder, which will properly infer the generic type and perform a cast. (Incidentally, it feels strange that nodeOrder has this generic downcasting behavior but, e.g., allowsSelfLoops does not.)

I’ve got an update to the docs out for review now, so it should hopefully be in the next release of Guava.

Thanks for encouraging us to improve our documentation. 😃

Yup, the change covers them too, but thanks for asking. 😃
It also mentions that the types do get specified (i.e., don’t start out as Object) if you create a *Builder using the from() static method.
