+/// This struct is populated by AdbcStatementExecuteMulti and can be used to 
iterate

MultiResultSetNext

release function

necessary.

+///
+/// \since ADBC API revision 1.2.0
+///
+/// The driver can decide whether to allow fetching the next result set
+/// as a single stream or as a set of partitions.  If the driver does not
+/// support fetching the next result set as a stream (indicating it should
+/// be fetched as partitions), it should return ADBC_STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.
+///
+/// To indicate that no additional result sets are available, this should 
return
+/// ADBC_STATUS_OK and set the release callback on out to NULL. The expected
+/// pattern is that after calling `StatementExecuteMulti`, the caller would
+/// then call `MultiResultSetNext` repeatedly until it returns ADBC_STATUS_OK 
and
+/// sets the release callback to NULL, indicating that there are no more 
result sets.

Review Comment:
   I think we can state MAY, and most code will then have to assume it will be 
invalidated; if you're coding to a specific driver release, then maybe you can 
make a stronger assumption.
