Bryn Cooke updated TINKERPOP3-744:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently property mutations are restricted to setting a property to a fixed 
value and adding/removing.

However for efficient gremlin server side mutations we will need more 
operations. For instance:
* Incrementing the value of a property.
* String manipulation.
* Setting a property to be the soundex of another property.

All these operations are available when updating a table using SQL.

Currently this sort of thing is handled via sideeffect lambda, however this 
means deploying custom code to gremlin server instances.

It would be great if we had a more fully featured mutations API. This would 
allow vendors to implement optimisations if their backend supports the mutation 
natively.
