//! Normalised graph pattern types for the HIR.
//!
//! The HIR flattens the recursive AST graph pattern into parallel lists of
//! [`NodePattern`]s and [`RelationshipPattern`]s, linked by integer indices.
//! This representation is easier for an execution engine to process than the
//! recursive AST form.
