Description

I'm not sure if this will be possible or what might prevent it but it would be nice if we could return both a traversal result and a profile(). You can technically do it with getSideEffects() but we made the decision to not allow side-effect retrieval remotely so that avenue is closed. Basically, it would be nice if profile() could behave like other side-effect steps where you can simply cap() results, but i guess I can sorta see why that wouldn't work:

gremlin> g.V().out().profile('x').union(cap('x'),fold())
When specified, the profile()-Step must be the last step or followed only by the cap()-step.
Type ':help' or ':h' for help.
Display stack trace? [yN]

Perhaps we could do a profile().by() or the like to control how the capping works?
