You implemented `Compare` not `P`. If we do `type`, it needs to be a
`P`-predicate. (and still assuming we want this...). I just haven't seen anyone
(nor myself) ever need this functionality. And its bad to add functionality
with limited use cases. Perhaps we wait until there is a stress for it AND we
know all the ways in which it will be used. For example -- by doing this, we
are assuming the Java-type system. This may be bad for Gremlin VM in other
languages.
