We should not advertise `toString()` as other GLV's don't show compilation
information and in fact, down the line, we will most likely change what
`toString()` shows in Gremlin-Java/Groovy.
I would add an example that uses `order().by(...).skip(x)` so that people
know it skips the first `x` results. For instance, show without `skip(x)`, then
show with `skip(x)` after an `order()`.

> We should have a {{.skip(x)}} and {{.skip(local, x)}}. The functionality is
> already provided by {{RangeStep}} ({{.range(x, -1)}} skips {{x}} elements and
> emits the remainder).
