> Right now we have a Hypergraph class and an IncidenceStructure class. In
the future it would be good to have only one, i.e. `Hypergraph` and
`IncidenceStructure` should be the same class. I am trying to do this by
telling users to stop using `Hypergraph` for a while and use
`IncidenceStructure` instead, and after one year of deprecation
`Hypergraph` will be an alias for `IncidenceStructure`.

if you just put everything that we have in `Hypergraph` into
`IncidenceStructure`, and then do
{{{
Hypergraph = IncidenceStructure
}}}
you only add more methods to `Hypergraph` and to `IncidenceStructure`.
Nothing is removed. How can in break users' code? Why would one need to
deprecate?
