Comment (by stumpc5):

 > I think !QuiverMutationType(BB,1,1) shouldn't return affine A1.  They
 are double edges in different senses.  (Affine A1 is two arrows in the
 quiver convention, while I think the only reasonable interpretation of
 BB,1,1 is a double edge in the Lie convention, i.e. a valued quiver with
 one edge and labels (1,2).  That is to say, I think BB,1,1 should return
 B2.)

 What you say is right, but I am also not very convinced of returning B2: I
 don't like that the BBn-1 and Bn turn into B2 for n=2, since the BB tells
 that there are two special outgoing edges. (Same for CCn-1 as well.) BCn-1
 turns into one edge (1,-4) which seems to be more appropriate. What about
 not allowing BB1 and CC1 as input, and starting both series with n=2? We
 actually do the same with BDn-1, where we start only with n=3 since one
 end is special in the B sense and the other in the D sense.
