Nuke Node 0! It's semantic noise from a time where we mistakenly believed users would need a starting node to get them going.

I held your opinion, but for debugging, I added some IS_A relationships
off nodes coming from node 0. It's worked out nicely in the neo4j_shell
for debugging my code. You might think of it as being the base object
class, and the others as subclasses, then then instances of the
subclasses [Or you might hurl given that sloppy description].

I don't use it for anything but debugging, but it's been handy for
that... There might be better methods, but that one's really simple.

It probably slows down my code - since every node has an IS_A
relationship now - that I only use for debugging. But for the moment,
it's probably not the first thing to optimize out ;-).
