Comment (by ncohen):

 I do not need this feature. What I am doing here is try to prepare the way
 to load easily in Sage graphs that barely store in memory. Later, this
 parsing will occur in C++ on a backend that supports edge addition in O(1)
 (amortized), with minimal memory cost.

 If that goes through NetworkX first, I just can't do it anymore.

 My problem here is that 'NetworkX' named 'edgelist' a file format that
 uses the python syntax and crazy labels, when other libraries prefered to
 keep matters simple:

 http://gephi.github.io/users/supported-graph-formats/csv-format/
 http://igraph.org/c/doc/igraph-Foreign.html#idm470920995840

 Honestly, it is probably their fault for 'extending' a file format with
 things that are not supported anywhere else.

 Would you prefer to see a different name for this file format?
