>             Project: TinkerPop
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: process
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.3
>            Reporter: Daniel Kuppitz

> As it currently stands, side-effects have the highest priority when a key is {{select()}}'ed. I just ran into a problem where this behavior was more than disadvantageous:
> {code}
> gremlin> g = TinkerGraph.open().traversal()
> ==>graphtraversalsource[tinkergraph[vertices:0 edges:0], standard]
> gremlin> g.withSideEffect("a", ["a": "marko"]).inject(1).select("a").select("a") // expected result is "marko", not "[a:marko]"
> ==>[a:marko]
> {code}
> In my use-case the map keys were not predictable, hence it's almost impossible to prevent a key name collision. IMO maps (and paths) should take precedence over side-effects.
> It is still possible to get the nested {{a}} key, but I'm pretty sure that the common Gremlin user won't be able to come up with this query:
> {code}
> gremlin> g.withSideEffect("a", ["a": "marko"]).inject(1).select("a").
>            map(unfold().filter(select(keys).is("a")).select(values))
> ==>marko
> {code}
