      // Initialize face handles. A face handle is an abstraction that serves 
      // two uses in our implementation - it allows us to efficiently move 
      // along the outer face of embedded bicomps in a partially embedded 
      // graph, and it provides storage for the planar embedding. Face 
      // handles are implemented by a sequence of edges and are associated 
      // with a particular vertex - the sequence of edges represents the 
      // current embedding of edges around that vertex, and the first and 
      // last edges in the sequence represent the pair of edges on the outer 
      // face that are adjacent to the associated vertex. This lets us embed 
      // edges in the graph by just pushing them on the front or back of the 
      // sequence of edges held by the face handles.
      // 
      // Our algorithm starts with a DFS tree of edges (where every vertex is
      // an articulation point and every edge is a singleton bicomp) and 
      // repeatedly merges bicomps by embedding additional edges. Note that 
      // any bicomp at any point in the algorithm can be associated with a 
      // unique edge connecting the vertex of that bicomp with the lowest DFS
      // number (which we refer to as the "root" of the bicomp) with its DFS 
      // child in the bicomp: the existence of two such edges would contradict
      // the properties of a DFS tree. We refer to the DFS child of the root 
      // of a bicomp as the "canonical DFS child" of the bicomp. Note that a 
      // vertex can be the root of more than one bicomp.
      //
      // We move around the external faces of a bicomp using a few property 
      // maps, which we'll initialize presently:
      //
      // - face_handles: maps a vertex to a face handle that can be used to 
      //   move "up" a bicomp. For a vertex that isn't an articulation point, 
      //   this holds the face handles that can be used to move around that 
      //   vertex's unique bicomp. For a vertex that is an articulation point,
      //   this holds the face handles associated with the unique bicomp that 
      //   the vertex is NOT the root of. These handles can therefore be used 
      //   to move from any point on the outer face of the tree of bicomps 
      //   around the current outer face towards the root of the DFS tree.
      //
      // - dfs_child_handles: these are used to hold face handles for 
      //   vertices that are articulation points - dfs_child_handles[v] holds
      //   the face handles corresponding to vertex u in the bicomp with root
      //   u and canonical DFS child v.
      //
      // - canonical_dfs_child: this property map allows one to determine the
      //   canonical DFS child of a bicomp while traversing the outer face.
      //   This property map is only valid when applied to one of the two 
      //   vertices adjacent to the root of the bicomp on the outer face. To
      //   be more precise, if v is the canonical DFS child of a bicomp,
      //   canonical_dfs_child[dfs_child_handles[v].first_vertex()] == v and 
      //   canonical_dfs_child[dfs_child_handles[v].second_vertex()] == v.
      //
      // - pertinent_roots: given a vertex v, pertinent_roots[v] contains a
      //   list of face handles pointing to the top of bicomps that need to
      //   be visited by the current walkdown traversal (since they lead to
