Marko A. Rodriguez closed TINKERPOP3-463.
-----------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
We now support {{as('a').out().as('b')}}. This is sufficient and any Groovy
magic starts to muddy the situation (especially now that steps can be
multi-labeled). I'm adverse to using Groovy {{propertyMissing}} and
{{methodMissing}} meta-programming as it interferes with user Groovy meta-work
as well as other meta-programming work within Gremlin-Groovy. The less tickery,
the better.
> Now we can do as('a').out.as('b') in Gremlin-Groovy with SugarPlugin.

> Now that we have {{AnonymousGraphTraversal.Tokens.__}}, {{match()}} looks
> like this in Gremlin-Groovy (with Sugar).
> {code:groovy}
> g.V.match('a',
> __.as('a').out('created').as('b'),
> __.as('b').has('name', 'lop'),
> __.as('b').in('created').as('c'),
> __.as('c').has('age', 29)).
> select('a', 'c').by('name')
> {code}
> The only difference between this and non-sugar is {{g.V}} vs. {{g.V()}}.
> However, if we add to SugarPlugin that a missing method named {{as()}} is
> actually a call to {{AnonymousGraphTraversal.Tokens.__}} (which is 3 lines of
> code :)), then it will look like this:
> {code:groovy}
> g.V.match('a',
> as('a').out('created').as('b'),
> as('b').has('name', 'lop'),
> as('b').in('created').as('c'),
> as('c').has('age', 29)).
> select('a', 'c').by('name')
> {code}
> This is cool, but realize it only works for Gremlin-Groovy (with Sugar). Be
> nice to come up with a simplification that would also work for non-sugar and
> Gremlin-Java.
