+ * begin_pos and end_pos are optional parameters to specify the position
+ * at which the trace collection should be seeked upon iterator
+ * creation, and the position at which iteration will start returning
+ * "EOF".
+ *
+ * By default, if begin_pos is NULL, a BT_SEEK_CUR is performed at
+ * creation. By default, if end_pos is NULL, a BT_SEEK_END (end of
+ * trace) is the EOF criterion.
