So you don't want the labels to be part of the actual datatype?  And
for users to then have to deal with any labels they want themselves?

If so, I don't think this is feasible; some of the nice parts of FGL
IMHO are how it deals with labels (admittedly, I've had to write and
use my own "((Int,a) -> a') -> g a b -> g a' b" function because it
doesn't have one...).  Removing this would be a step backwards.

How exactly is it bad/a pain to have to deal with specifying "g ()
()", especially since there are some pre-defined "unlabelled" graph
type and function aliases?
