#' Get the count of multiple edges
#'
#' @description
#'
#' Get a count of the number of multiple edges in the graph. Included in the
#' count is the number of separate edges that share the same edge definition
#' (i.e., same pair of nodes) across the entire graph. So, for example, if there
#' are 2 edge definitions in the graph that involve 6 separate edge IDs, the
#' count will be `4`.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#'
#' @return A vector with a single, numerical value.

#' ndf <-
