Description

The partitioned_vertices and which_partition fields of PartitionedGraph are currently abstract: https://github.com/mtfishman/NamedGraphs.jl/blob/d561823168be7d042fcfac31162c6c2495f10ba4/src/Graphs/partitionedgraphs/partitionedgraph.jl#L5-L6. To improve performance and type stability they should be parametrized, see https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/performance-tips/#Avoid-fields-with-abstract-type. @JoeyT1994

Research direction

Start in src/Graphs/partitionedgraphs/partitionedgraph.jl at the PartitionedGraph definition, focusing on the partitioned_vertices and which_partition fields. Read Julia's performance guidance on avoiding abstract-typed fields, then make both fields parametrized and verify that the resulting type is concrete and type-stable.
