I want to represent possible unmoves to allow backpropagation of scores from a
position to all of its previously visited predecessors.  I want to avoid the
recomputation of possible unmoves at each node visit, and I would like to
associate other data with each such connecting edge.

It would be possible for me to invent some notation for my own use easily
enough; I thought there might be a few other people with a desire for a standard
unmove notation.
