Feynman diagrams

TikZ contains a graph layout library, which works surprisingly well for making Feynman diagrams. Here are a couple of examples. The syntax could be shortened (f instead of fermion, for example), this is just to show the idea:

There are some issues with decorating curved paths using waves, and the coils decoration sometimes ends with a straight path segment, but that could be fixed. Here’s the complete code (requires lualatex).
