Description

I was surprised to see that rem_edge!(::AbstractGraph, ::Pair) isn't defined:

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = path_graph(4)
{4, 3} undirected simple Int64 graph

julia> rem_edge!(g, 2 => 3)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching rem_edge!(::SimpleGraph{Int64}, ::Pair{Int64, Int64})

Closest candidates are:
  rem_edge!(::SimpleGraph{T}, ::Graphs.SimpleGraphs.SimpleEdge{T}) where T
   @ Graphs ~/.julia/packages/Graphs/czpTe/src/SimpleGraphs/simplegraph.jl:519
  rem_edge!(::Graphs.SimpleGraphs.AbstractSimpleGraph{T}, ::Integer, ::Integer) where T
   @ Graphs ~/.julia/packages/Graphs/czpTe/src/SimpleGraphs/SimpleGraphs.jl:183

Research direction

Start in src/SimpleGraphs/simplegraph.jl at rem_edge! around line 519 and src/SimpleGraphs/SimpleGraphs.jl around line 183, comparing the existing edge-removal signatures. Reproduce the Pair call shown in the issue and verify that rem_edge!(g, 2 => 3) works consistently with the existing API.
