Gilbert B Garza commented on COUCHDB-124:
-----------------------------------------
I think this is a great idea. Perhaps something along the lines of _null could
work, since its meaning could be interpreted by its context.
> Adding first and last sort keys

> We should add values to the view query that are guranteed to be sorted first
> or last.
> Simple example, given an emitted key of something like [doc.tag, doc.descr]
> currently to get the data for a specific tag we would use something like:
> startkey=['tag_name']&endkey=['tag_name', 'ZZZZZZ'] which is a bit hackish at
> best.
> Perhaps startkey=['tag_name',_first_]&endkey=['tag_name',_last_]
> Obviously _first_ and _last_ are crappy. And _first_ would even be optional.
> But hopefully that conveys the idea.
