 I think it would be useful if posets had an {{{edge_labels()}}} option
 where one could assign labels to the covering relations (which would
 naturally correspond to {{{edge_labels()}}} on the underlying Hasse
 diagram).

 This concept is already used in {{{is_EL_labeling()}}} (the
 {{{{edge_labels()}}} function is an additional parameter). In tetrahedral
 posets, the you have six different possible 'colors' of edges you can
 include, and it would be nice to retain this information as part of the
 poset structure. For posets like the weak order on a Coxeter group, one
 would want a labeling of which simple generator you multiply by to
 decrement the length when travelling down a covering relation. One may
 want to keep track of which covering relations in the Cartesian product of
 two posets come from which poset. In the ZigZag poset, one might want to
 distinguish between 'up' covering relations and 'down' covering relations.
 And so on.
