> I just realized something so obvious. {{TraversalSource}} should be fluent and not this awkward {{TraversalSource.Builder}} model we use. You should be able to do this:
> {code}
> graph = GraphFactory.open(...)
> g = graph.traversal()
> g = g.withStrategy(MyStrategy.class)
> g = g.withSack(1.0,sum)
> ...
> g.V().out().sack()
> g.V().out().out().drop()
> {code}
> Thus, {{TraversalSource}} methods return a {{TraversalSource}}. 
> {code}
> g = graph.traversal(computer(GiraphGraphComputer)).withStrategy(MyStrategy.class).withSack(1.0,sum).withBulk(false)
> {code}
> That {{g}} is then "locked" with those parameterizations and any {{V()}}/{{addV()}}/etc. off of it will spawn traversal with that parameterization.
> This solves:
>   TINKERPOP3-862
>   TINKERPOP3-960 (makes more elegant)
> This would be backwards compatible. Though, deprecation would occur.
> Finally, DSLs are still respected.
> {code}
> g = graph.traversal(SocialTraversal.class)
> {code}
> A fleeting thought...
> {code}
> g = graph.traversal().using(GiraphGraphComputer)
> g = graph.traversal().via(GremlinServerConnection).using(GiraphGraphComputer)
> {code}
> So much cleaner than all that {{Builder}}-crap....
