Support for properties not strongly typed on Vertex/Edge

[Chris Johnson]

In my application I have a mixture of well known and understood properties on entities like Person, along with unknown properties that are supplied by the user of the application. e.g. My awesome property = "Foo". And I would like to (ideally) model this as regular properties in the graph on Person vertices. I am, of course, open to workarounds or suggestions on how i'm doing it wrong and other alternatives. I'm a gremlin rookie after all.

I was thinking something like a Dictionary of additional properties that were found on a Vertex that were not mapped to strongly typed properties.

    public class Vertex :  IVertex
    {
        public object Id { get; set; }
        public string Label { get; set; }
        public string pk { get; set; } = "pk";
        public Dictionary<string, object> AdditionalProperties { get; set; }
    }

I realize that this library provides a strongly typed mapping, but it seems to me there will be situations like mine that are runtime specific.

Thoughts?

I could of course be thinking about this completely wrong and could model this in a different manner that I am not aware of.

This has been proposed previously in #82. I agree that this would be a nice to have feature, but it's currently not on the roadmap.
