Description

Specifying a Traversal to a VertexProgram is currently complex requiring numerous method overloads to the respective VertexProgram.Builder. Moreover, we don't have a general solution to Traversal serialization for all situations (e.g. GraphFilter). I say we get rid of TraversalScriptFunction and make a ScriptTraversal that contains a Script and reference to the ScriptEngine to compile it when applyStrategies() is called.
