// Inverse - This class is used as a little marker class to tell the graph
// iterator to iterate over the graph in a graph defined "Inverse" ordering.
// Not all graphs define an inverse ordering, and if they do, it depends on
// the graph exactly what that is.  Here's an example of usage with the
// df_iterator:
//
// idf_iterator<Method*> I = idf_begin(M), E = idf_end(M);
// for (; I != E; ++I) { ... }
//
// Which is equivalent to:
// df_iterator<Inverse<Method*> > I = idf_begin(M), E = idf_end(M);
// for (; I != E; ++I) { ... }
//
