Short description of error
It's not clear in which domain the node should be used.
In documentation is written:
"...which makes it important that the node is evaluated on the vertex domain."
But the node has and "Edge Index" Output, so how is it possible to use and Edge Index on a vertex domain?

Also Inputs have the same problem: "Vertex Index" input must be specified on vertex domain but "Weights" input must be specified on edges domain.

So in which domain should the "Edges of Vertex" node be used?

As in many other nodes (pretty much almost every topology nodes) documentation, an example whould be very usefull.
Again in the same In documentation is written:
"One example use is finding the 'most vertical' edge connected to each vertex."
It's almost necessary to add a screenshot of the node tree to show how.

I'm attaching a screenshot of how I tried, unsuccessfully, to do it myself.

PS: On the "Edge Index" output description is written:
"An edge connected to the face, chosen by the Sort Index input."
It should be "An edge connected to the vertex, ..." cause it's the "Edges of Vertex".
And this slot doesn't output an edge but an index, so not geometry but an integer.

I have a usage example

The average direction of the two edges for each vertex.

It seems to work!
As soon as possible I will check out if I can use it to get the most vertical edge connected to a vertex.
Thank you
