Could you explain a bit further why a weak reference is desirable here? You
mentioned that it helps simplify `resetLoops()` but I'm unfortunately not
making the connection as to why even with the phraseology you followed with
about not needing "to walk the Map or store the 'loop name' multiple times."
> Support nested-repeat() structures
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: TINKERPOP-967
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-967
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0-incubating
> Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
> Assignee: Marko A. Rodriguez
> Priority: Major
>
> All the internal plumbing is staged for this to happen, we just haven't gone
> all the way. In short, a {{NESTED_LOOP}} traverser has an internal
> {{loopStack}} where {{repeat(repeat())}} will have a {{loopStack}} of two.
> The {{it.loops()}} checks of the internal repeat will always check the top of
> the stack and when its done repeating will delete its counter off the top of
> the stack.
> [~dkuppitz]'s work on {{LoopStep}} will be backwards compatible. In
> {{RepeatStep}} we will support:
> {code}
> repeat('a',out('knows').repeat('b',out('parent')))
> {code}
> and thus, things like {{loops('a')}} as well as {{times('a',2)}}. Note that
> naming the loop stack will be a super rare case as most people will just
> assume standard nested looping semantics with a push/pop stack.
