package iterator

// NewIterator() creates either UID or thread iterators and ensures that both
// types of iterators implement the same iteration direction.

// Iterator implements an interface for iterating over UID or thread data. If
// Next() returns true, the current value of the iterator can be read with
// Value(). The return value of Value() is of type `any` and needs to be cast to
// the correct type.
//
// The iterators are implemented such that the first returned value always
// represents the top message in the message list. Hence, StartIndex() would
// return the index of the top message whereas EndIndex() returns the index of
// message at the bottom of the list.

// are reversed in the sense that the lowest UID messages are displayed at the
// top of the message list. Otherwise, the default order is with the highest
// UID message on top.
