If I were implementing this in C++, I would have the result object return a different generic STL iterator (forward, random access, etc.) depending on how I wanted to access the data. Perhaps you could emulate this in C. I generally don't like the one-interface-fits-all approach; you get a much cleaner and extensible interface if you introduce a type for each class of behavior being modeled. T. -- Timothy H.
