> {{MatchStep}} should really be a {{FilterStep}}. It simply filters out all
> traversers that don't match the patterns. However, given that you typically
> {{select()}} after {{match()}}, a {{Map<String,Object>}} is generated. The
> benefit of making it a {{FilterStep}} is that people can use {{match()}} to
> filter without having to deal with unrolling the {{Map}}. Moreover, it feels
> more consistent with the language constructs.
