+/**
+ * An iterator-like interface to conveniently move through chunks of data. The 
+ * idea is that a Pager works with a read Command. The read command
+ * returns a large amount of data and the client wants to work with chunks 
+ * of it at a time. So the Pager is created on the command and each call to
+ * next returns the next chunk of data. This is done completely disconnected. 
+ * No cursor is maintained between calls to #next.
+ * 
+ * TODO - This is very preliminary. We need to look at this interface 
+ * in the context of disonnected scenarios such as a web app. The Pager instance
+ * will probably be saved in session so it must be very light and cannot 
+ * reference a connection. Also, we probably need to define a factory or add a
+ * method to set page size.
