The direction in which a relationship is traversed is
not significant for a path. The mention of this in the CIP
was caused by a misunderstanding.

How can the direction not be important? If the direction is not important that would make (a)-[x]->(a) the same as (a)<-[x]-(a), which I would argue that it is not.

There is lots of confusion around how self-relationships (or loops) are
matched by patterns. These scenarios aim to outline how this is supposed
to work, and how it differs from simple relationship matching.
