> Currently property mutations are restricted to setting a property to a fixed value and adding/removing.
> However for efficient gremlin server side mutations we will need more operations. For instance:
> * Incrementing the value of a property.
> * String manipulation.
> * Setting a property to be the soundex of another property.
> All these operations are available when updating a table using SQL.
> Currently this sort of thing is handled via sideeffect lambda, however this means deploying custom code to gremlin server instances.
> It would be great if we had a more fully featured mutations API. This would allow vendors to implement optimisations if their backend supports the mutation natively.
