Hi folks,

Given a graph G with one vertex v having a self-loop at v, I would
expect the total degree of G to be 2, since the total degree is twice
the number of edges. But this is not the case as shown below for the
case of undirected (multi)graphs:

[mv...@sage mvngu]$ sage

sage: G = Graph({1:[1]}); G
Looped graph on 1 vertex
sage: sum(G.degree())
1
sage: G.size()
0
sage: G = Graph({1:[1]}, loops=True); G
Looped graph on 1 vertex
sage: sum(G.degree())
1
sage: G.size()
0
sage: G = Graph({1:[1]}, loops=True, multiedges=True); G
Looped multi-graph on 1 vertex
sage: sum(G.degree())
1
sage: G.size()
0

The size of G is 1 because there is one edge, i.e. the single
self-loop. As shown by the above session, Sage reports the size of G
as 0. I believe this is a bug.
