>             Project: TinkerPop
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: process
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.2-incubating
>            Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
>            Priority: Major
>              Labels: breaking
>
> I think we should add two new methods to {{Step}}.
> {code}
> Step.getDomain() -> Class
> Step.getRange() -> Class
> {code}
> Now, when someone does:
> {code}
> g.V().out()
> {code}
> {{GraphStep}} will report that its range is {{Vertex.class}}. {{VertexStep}} 
> will report its domain to be {{Vertex.class}}. Good. No typing issues. 
> However, when you do this:
> {code}
> g.E().out()
> {code}
> {{GraphStep}} will report that its range is {{Edge.class}}. {{VertexStep}} 
> will report its domain to be {{Vertex.class}} --- {{IllegalArgumentException: 
> "The provided traversal has an illegal function composition."}}.
> Why is this good -- much better than getting random {{ClassCastExceptions}} 
> at execution time.
