I think this could be a potential configuration of the `GraphTraversalSource`,
thus {{g.withSeed(123L).V().order(shuffle).by('name')}} though I wouldn't
discount use of a {{with()}} modulator, but that's not as much a part of the
core language as we would probably be want.
{{by()}} is interesting, but perhaps overly flexible and besides it won't work
with {{order()}} cleanly as it already accepts that modulator for other
configurations.

> Allow an ability to specify seeding for random methods such as coin, sample

> Key: TINKERPOP-2014
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2014
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.3.3
> Reporter: Sam Rosen
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, all the methods that have non-deterministic behavior such as coin
> and sample have no ability to set a seed. The ability to set a seed will
> allow for reproducible and testable behavior as well as more control flow for
> random processes. If a certain backend does not support seeding, they could
> simply ignore it. Some possible API changes:
> graph.traversal.V().withSeed(2L).coin(.5)
> graph.traversal.V().sample(3, 0L)
