Hola Claudio!
for all algorithms implemented in the `shortestpath` package (A*,
Dijkstra, Bellmann-Ford, ...), I didn't have the need to add new
specific methods for {{WeightedGraph}}es since that interface was used
more as a marker - a direct graph, which edges are weighted (granted
by generics), satisfies the algos input as well.
As domain expert you maybe know advanced algorithms that require more
assumptions on the input graph, so any suggestion is welcome!
