Description

From the documentation (Graph.get_boundary? or Graph.set_boundary?) there is just no way to know what it does. So because of that probably nobody uses it. Or they guessed the purpose in some way I can't guess myself.

Then there are things like linear-time operations in functions like .delete_vertex (noticed by #15278). 

self._boundary = [v for v in self._boundary if v != vertex]

Sooooooooo unless somebody complains and is willing to write some documentation for this parameter, I think it'd be nice to deprecate then remove it.

Hello Nathann,

you should replace all the new doctest:1: (or any other number) by doctest:...: because the numbers will change all the time.
