Any news about implementation of property container functions for Cypher?

[Andrii Stesin]

there is a voting here https://trello.com/c/FciCdgWl/7-cypher-property-container-functions on the question:

Both nodes and relationships are understood to be "property containers" which behave as maps (can access the value of a given key) but lack some other access methods. Sometimes (for introspection, or migration, or data harmonization) it is useful to separately access the key, value, or key/value pair.

Possible functions:

MATCH n RETURN keys(n)
Returns the collection of property keys.

MATCH n RETURN values(n)
Returns the collection of property values.

MATCH n RETURN entries(n)
Returns a collection of key/value pairs.

Reference

Forked from a discussion on github: neo4j/neo4j: Issue #164

It seems pretty reasonable "sugar" for Cypher, to deal with properties of both nodes and relationships; are there any plans to implement those in foreseeable future? It should not be too complex to implement, I guess.

Thanks in advance!

WBR,

Huh! please take my apologies. Already discovered that in 2.2.5, it's just a perfect reason to upgrade from 2.1.* branch!
