I do not think so ! ... it is me being unclear -perhaps ... -this means, A
pattern is great, and especially so, if there is a good implementation
"template" I can use, and customise for my application ...

A page_by_page_iterator should have an idee of the amount of records it is
capeble to display for its user -say 100.000.000 -when a user request a list
s/he should get a list of some -then perhaps the implementation prefetch
some more data in close perimeter to where in the index the user is
navigating ... 

-get metadata
    -fetch some data to list
        - display the list
    -prefetch some more
-wait for new input

Also a centralised cache for all users of the iterator -that can act
according to how static the data is ... would help ...

A page_by_page_iterator for really large datasets would work best in tandem
with a lighter db that has a prebuilt index ! ...
