Many-to-Many tables

Description:
The direct graph is arguably more faithful to the conceptual model if it reflects e.g. a person with multiple addresses (some many-to-many Person2Address table) as repeated properties. It is difficult to detect which tables with exactly two foreign keys and no other attributes are many-to-many. As a counter example [1] , a Wedding table may have exactly two spouses but it's still not a many-to-many relation in most places.
