@spamallete I think I steered away from that because I initially
misunderstood what marko meant - as you pointed out the plumbing (`incrLoops`
taking a `stepLabel`) for nested repeats is already there, but I didn't find
any plumbing had been done for this (neither `times()` nor `loop()` can take a
`stepLabel`) so I thought that the 'work on `LoopStep`' had been abandoned.
Re-reading this I think I see what is involved and can implement this -
both `TimesModulating` and `LoopStep` as well as the `loops()` method of a
traverser need to be able to take a stepLabel. We would need to maintain a
separate user-defined stepLabel that could be accessed.
I can see why `loops('a')` could be helpful, but I don't know why you would
want to do `times('a',2)`. Could you please provide an example of this?
PS Hi Marko! Thanks for Gremlin!
