Hi Stephen,
I wouldn't add this just yet. I would not promote "normal users" working with
Steps directly as:
1. There typing will likely change soon given the work in "Gremlin
Traversal Machine and Language."
2. We don't have a DSL path yet.
3. The interface API will most likely change as well.
Finally, I don't know what use this would have as a "runtime call." If someone
is developing a traversal language using the "instruction set" of Gremlin, they
will most likely be in JavaDoc-land, not in describeSteps()-land. ??
Perhaps, for now, you can pull this into a feature branch.
Thanks,
Marko.
