In any case, I think this is an important area of Grok that reequires
further exploration.

Yes, which is what we're trying to do with grok.traversable, of course,
too. That's not to exclude other explorations, of course.
grok.traversable does codify patterns I've at least seen in some
real-world applications.

It showed up for me when I had to show views of my objects in both it's
natural hierarchy <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>and<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> in a completely different hierarchy
to meet business objectives.

What exactly made spaghetti traversal "spaghetti" and what exactly
wasn't scalable? I think you are talking about complexity scalability,
right?
<br>
</blockquote>
Yes, complexity scalabilty.

Perhaps we can see 'grok.traversable()' as a degenerate case of the
trails approach. Or the other way around, perhaps there are ways to
expand grok.traversable to do trails-like things.
<br>
</blockquote>
Yes, I think there is room to expand grok.traversable to do trails-like
things.
