Most of the graph theory functions have a bunch of options for the
format of the output, I'd say this would follow that trend, taking the
old behavior as default.

I haven't seen anyone do things like this outside of GraphViz, which I
believe is an optional SPKG, due to licensing issues.

This would involve making two separate graphics objects and figuring
out how to add them together to get the right effect. I wouldn't be
surprised if it involved a fair amount of source code hacking.

Sounds like fun!
