I would like to avoid this. Mainly because these tools would have the
same functionality and this kind of separation would probably lead to a
lot of duplication in the code.
Additionally, sometimes it is useful to draw a directed graph az
undirected. In theory it can be done, with the UndirGraphAdaptor (I
don't know how it will be called in the new version), but the Drawer
support this functionality natively without any extra effort, and also
I'm a bit concerned about whether the undirected map would be seamlessly
usable here when wrappers are in used.

But what if there is no separate DigraphToEps?

Should we use edgeColor()? Or also use acrColor() as an alias?
Technically, it is not a problems, and we can also group these aliases
together in the documentation, so that won't mess it up too much.
