> This bit of Gremlin demonstrates both problems for uses of {{by(String)}}:
> {code}
> gremlin> g.V().valueMap().project('x').by('name')
> java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to
> org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.structure.Element
> Type ':help' or ':h' for help.
> Display stack trace? [yN]n
> {code}
> First, users typically expect this to work because they figure they are just
> grabbing a keys value from a {{Map}} and then get the difficult to understand
> message which doesn't tell you how to resolve. As a side note, the way to
> resolve is with:
> {code}
> gremlin> g.V().valueMap().project('x').by(select('name'))
