>             Project: TinkerPop 3
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: process

> Currently, Matchstep expects the pattern to be defined in terms of normalized traversals, that is, only the start and end of the traversal can be variables.
> In order to be able to write some patterns more concisely, it would be nice if something like this were allowed:
> {code}
> match('a', 
>       as('a').out('knows').as('b').out('knows').as('c'),
>       as('c').out('knows').as('a')
> {code}
> which could be easily decomposed into the normalized form:
> {code}
> match('a', 
>       as('a').out('knows').as('b'),
>       as('b').out('knows').as('c'),
>       as('c').out('knows').as('a')
> {code}
