> `AggregateStep` can be expressed as `StoreStep.NoOpBarrierStep`. There is no reason to have the extra logic if we don't need it.
> That is:
> {code}
> aggregate('a') => store('a').barrier()
> {code}
> Next, we should get rid of {{aggregate()}} and have two methods:
> {code}
> store(global,'a') => store('a').barrier()
> store(local,'a') => store('a')
> {code}
> If you are storing global that means you are storing every traverser up to the current step. Likewise, store local would only store the current traverser.
> Here is the crappy thing. All of our {{xxx(Scope)}} steps default to {{Scope.global}}: {{range()}}, {{tail()}}, {{count()}}...
> We should probably keep the same pattern of {{Scope.global}} default, but then that means that we would have a breaking change in the API.
> {code}
> store("a") -would-change-to-> store(local,"a")
> {code}
> We should have a {{storeV3d0()}} backward compatibility which would simply use {{store(local,"a")}}.
