[jira] [Created] (TINKERPOP-2521) Expand range() to allow other negative operations

Stephen Mallette created TINKERPOP-2521:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Expand range() to allow other negative operations
                 Key: TINKERPOP-2521
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2521
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: process
    Affects Versions: 3.4.10
            Reporter: Stephen Mallette


We currently allow {{range(0,-1)}} where the "-1" represents all items through the end of the stream. If we allowed for negatives like say "-2" it would mean all items through the end of the stream except for the last and that would provide "but last" sorts of semantics which is helpful in cases like this where trickery is needed to filter away the "last" item in the stream:
