Ted Wilmes commented on TINKERPOP-1468:
---------------------------------------
I haven't kept up as much with the GLV development, but thinking through that
case where at some future point, I would think many
folks would not be running an embedded graph db and instead would be using a
client that would be passing Gremlin byte code, which
would then be reconstructed on the server side, we'd probably avoid this issue
anyway or maybe catch it with byte code level validation?
Regardless, I'm okay with closing it "won't fix".

> {{GraphTraversal.optional}} throws a NPE if no traversal is provided. We
