 Your comment is a reply to my question to you, sooooo, I hope it is OK
 that my reply to your counter-question is a bunch of counter-counter-
 questions.

 Mainly I want to know what you (as the author) have to say about the
 purpose of this method.

 Is this method supposed to be called by people? Or is it an auxiliary
 method that should only be called internally, i.e., called from other
 methods that only work for simple graphs? The name suggests to me that the
 latter is the case, but I think you know better than I what the purpose of
 this method is.

 I think a method that is supposed to be called by people should be named
 ".is_simple()", and it shouldn't scream but return True resp. False. Of
 course, regardless of its name, the method must have a docstring and
 tests.

 Can you argue why this method is more than just an internally used method?
 If it is more than that, then I wouldn't mind at all to keep it in the
 docs. Otherwise, I would mind a little bit, but not much.
