// Result is an interface that defines methods useful for working with result
// sets.

	// the result.

	// effect on `One()`, `All()` and `Next()`. A negative limit cancels any
	// previous limit settings.
	Limit(int) Result

	// Offset ignores the first *n* results. It only has effect on `One()`,
	// `All()` and `Next()`. A negative offset cancels any previous offset
	// settings.
	Offset(int) Result

	// OrderBy receives field names that define the order in which elements will be
	// returned in a query, field names may be prefixed with a minus sign (-)
	// indicating descending order, ascending order will be used otherwise.
	OrderBy(...interface{}) Result

	// Select defines specific columns to be returned from the elements of the
	// set.
	Select(...interface{}) Result

	// Where discards all the previously set filtering constraints (if any) and
	// sets new ones. Commonly used when the conditions of the result depend on

	//     res.Where(...)
	//   } else {

	// Group is used to group results that have the same value in the same column
	// or columns.
	Group(...interface{}) Result

	// Delete deletes all items within the result set. `Offset()` and `Limit()` are
	// not honoured by `Delete()`.

	// Paginate splits the results of the query into pages containing pageSize

	// Use Page() to define the specific page to get results from.
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   r = q.Paginate(12)
	//
	// You can provide constraints an order settings when using pagination:

	Page(pageNumber uint) Result

	// Cursor defines the column that is going to be taken as basis for

	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   a = q.Paginate(10).Cursor("id")
	//   b = q.Paginate(12).Cursor("-id")
	//
	// You can set "" as cursorColumn to disable cursors.
	Cursor(cursorColumn string) Result

	// NextPage returns the next results page according to the cursor. It expects
	// a cursorValue, which is the value the cursor column had on the last item
	// of the current result set (lower bound).
	//
	// Example:
	//
	//   cursor = q.Paginate(12).Cursor("id")
	//   res = cursor.NextPage(items[len(items)-1].ID)
	//
	// Note that NextPage requires a cursor, any column with an absolute order

	//	 cursor = q.Where(...).OrderBy("id").Paginate(10).Cursor("id")
	//   res = cursor.NextPage(lowerBound)
	NextPage(cursorValue interface{}) Result

	// PrevPage returns the previous results page according to the cursor. It
	// expects a cursorValue, which is the value the cursor column had on the

	//   current = current.PrevPage(items[0].ID)
	//
	// Note that PrevPage requires a cursor, any column with an absolute order
	// (given two values one always precedes the other) can be a cursor.

	// TotalPages returns the total number of pages the result could produce.  If
