//! In-memory vs. universal-IO storage backing for serialized graph links.
//!
//! [`GraphLinksEnum`] is the owned half of [`GraphLinks`](super::GraphLinks):
//! it holds the serialized bytes, either resident in RAM or behind a live
//! universal-IO file handle. The handle is type-erased through
//! [`GraphLinksStorage`] so that [`GraphLinks`](super::GraphLinks) stays
//! non-generic.
