  /// \brief \ref lgf-format "LGF" reader for directed graphs

  /// This utility reads an \ref lgf-format "LGF" file.
  ///
  /// The reading method does a batch processing. The user creates a
  /// reader object, then various reading rules can be added to the
  /// reader, and eventually the reading is executed with the \c run()
  /// member function. A map reading rule can be added to the reader
  /// with the \c nodeMap() or \c arcMap() members. An optional
  /// converter parameter can also be added as a standard functor
  /// converting from \c std::string to the value type of the map. If it
  /// is set, it will determine how the tokens in the file should be
  /// converted to the value type of the map. If the functor is not set,
  /// then a default conversion will be used. One map can be read into
  /// multiple map objects at the same time. The \c attribute(), \c
  /// node() and \c arc() functions are used to add attribute reading
  /// rules.
  ///
  ///\code
  /// DigraphReader<DGR>(digraph, std::cin).
  ///   nodeMap("coordinates", coord_map).
  ///   arcMap("capacity", cap_map).
  ///   node("source", src).
  ///   node("target", trg).
  ///   attribute("caption", caption).
  ///   run();
  ///\endcode
  ///
  /// By default, the reader uses the first section in the file of the
  /// proper type. If a section has an optional name, then it can be
  /// selected for reading by giving an optional name parameter to the
  /// \c nodes(), \c arcs() or \c attributes() functions.
  ///
  /// The \c useNodes() and \c useArcs() functions are used to tell the reader
  /// that the nodes or arcs should not be constructed (added to the
  /// graph) during the reading, but instead the label map of the items
  /// are given as a parameter of these functions. An
  /// application of these functions is multipass reading, which is
  /// important if two \c \@arcs sections must be read from the
  /// file. In this case the first phase would read the node set and one
  /// of the arc sets, while the second phase would read the second arc
  /// set into an \e ArcSet class (\c SmartArcSet or \c ListArcSet).
  /// The previously read label node map should be passed to the \c
  /// useNodes() functions. Another application of multipass reading when
  /// paths are given as a node map or an arc map.
  /// It is impossible to read this in
  /// a single pass, because the arcs are not constructed when the node
  /// maps are read.
