Matt Frantz commented on TINKERPOP3-761:
----------------------------------------
Just realized something. First, you can always accept {{Traversal}} for
property values because they are in the varargs and so do not require
overloading. That will scale better instead of having a large number of
{{with}} or {{by}} clauses that you have to maintain in sync with your property
list.
That means you only need one or two {{by}} clauses, so the additional precision
provided by {{with}} is unnecessary.
Also, there is no ambiguity with {{String}} because those two arguments must be
{{Vertex}} or {{Traversal<?, Vertex>}}.

> Project: TinkerPop 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-incubating
> Reporter: Daniel Kuppitz
> Assignee: Marko A. Rodriguez
>
> Every once in a while I wish to have steps for some basic mathematical
> operations ({{add()}}, {{sub()}}, {{mul()}}, {{div()}}). Since {{sub(num)}}
> is the same as {{add(-num)}} and {{div(num)}} is the same as {{mul(1/num)}},
> we would only need two new step implementations.
> Oh, and then there's also {{mod()}}, thus 3 new step implementations.
