\description{
Convert a vertex or edge sequence to an ordinary vector
}
\details{
For graphs without names, a numeric vector is returned, containing the
internal numeric vertex or edge ids.

For graphs with names, and vertex sequences, the vertex names are
returned in a character vector.

For graphs with names and edge sequences, a character vector is
returned, with the \sQuote{bar} notation: \code{a|b} means an edge from
vertex \code{a} to vertex \code{b}.

\examples{
g <- make_ring(10)
as_ids(V(g))
as_ids(E(g))

V(g)$name <- letters[1:10]
as_ids(V(g))
as_ids(E(g))
