> Two issues here:
> {{.has(propertyKey, traversal)}} kinda doesn't work as expected:
> {code}
> gremlin> g = TinkerFactory.createModern().traversal()
> ==>graphtraversalsource[tinkergraph[vertices:6 edges:6], standard]
> gremlin> g.addV(label, "software", "lang", "python")
> ==>v[12]
> gremlin> g.V().has("name","lop").values("lang").as("l").V().has("lang",
> select("l"))
> ==>v[3]
> ==>v[5]
> ==>v[12]
> gremlin> g.V().has("name","lop").values("lang").as("l").V().has("lang",
> __.where(eq("l")))
> ==>v[3]
> ==>v[5]
> {code}
> From a user perspective {{.has("lang", select("l"))}} is / would be
> self-explanatory, {{.has("lang", __.where(eq("l")))}} on the other hand is
> confusing and I don't see good use-cases for it, as you could also write:
> {code}
> g.V().has("name","lop").values("lang").as("l").V().where(values("lang").as("l"))
> {code}
> The second issue or follow-up issue is, that has-traversal should be folded
> into the {{GraphStep}}, so that the mid-traversal {{V()}} is not a full graph
> scan. Given the traversal:
> {code}
> g.V().has("name","lop").values("lang").as("l").V().has("lang", select("l"))
> {code}
> ... we would know the value of {{"l"}} at runtime. Thus it's not much
> different from
> {code}
> g.V().has("name","lop").values("lang").as("l").V().has("lang", "java")
> {code}
> The only difference is that the latter traversal knows that the {{lang}}
> value is {{java}} at compile time and the former traversal only knows it at
> runtime. In either case the value is known before it's needed for the
> mid-traversal {{V().has(...)}} lookup part.
