20 This is a multi-inheritance mix-in providing the following methods
21
22 rewind() # return to $self->i_start() and $self->values_min()
23 next() # search using $self->pred()
24
25 characteristic_increasing() # always true
26 characteristic_integer() # always true
27
28 "next()" iterates by searching for values satisfying
29 "$self->pred($value)", starting at "values_min()" and stepping by 1
30 each time.
31
32 This is a handy way to implement the iterating methods for a "NumSeq"
33 if there's no easy way to step or have random access to values, only a
34 test of a condition.
35
36 The current implementation is designed for infinite sequences, it
37 doesn't check for a "values_max()" limit.
38
39 The two "characteristic" methods mean that calls
40
41 $self->characteristic('increasing')
42 $self->characteristic('integer')
43
44 are both true. "Increasing" is since "next()" always searches upwards.
45 "Integer" currently presumes that the starting "values_min()" is an
46 integer.
