I would oppose a seek() which runs implicit searches behind the scenes because

I was imagining that $hits->seek() would just adjust the iterator
pointer, like a shortcut for this pseudo-code:
sub seek {
my ($hits, $new_pos) = @_;
# some error check here to verify $new_pos
# isn't beyond the offset+num_wanted
while ($hits->current_pos < $new_pos) {
$hits->next or last;
}
}
