Description

Currently, all the "path-to" primitives return the first path that Jung's implementation of Dijktra's algorithm finds.

Maybe there should even be a way to get all the acyclic paths from A to B. (You could then order them by length if you want to.)

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the path-to primitives and the use of Jung's Dijkstra implementation described in the issue. Clarify whether the goal is all equal-length shortest paths, all acyclic paths, or both; done means the selected behavior is defined and exposed consistently by the path-to primitives.
