    /// Copy-on-Write.  You will need to query the database again in
    /// the future.
    ///
    /// ## Examples
    ///
    /// This code makes a direct query via the path of a record.  This
    /// will only return a single record if successful.

    /// are String-keyed, with an arbitrary (or no) payload and can be
    /// used to make more precise (and fast!) search queries into the
    /// database.
    ///
    /// The constraints imposed by tag queries are modelled on set
    /// theory and can be created via the [`TagQuery`][tq] helper type.
    ///

    /// allows for fetching only a range of objects, limiting memory
    /// usage.

    /// Paths that are inserted after the `QueryIterator` was
    /// constructed aren't automatically added to it, because it's
    /// internal state is atomic for the time it was created.  If you
    /// want to get updates to the database as they happen, consider a
    /// `Subscription` instead.
    ///
    /// Following is an example for an iterator query, mirroring most
    /// of the `query()` usage quite closely.
    ///
    /// ```
    /// # use alexandria::{GLOBAL, Builder, Library, error::Result, utils::{Tag, TagSet, Path}, query::Query};
    /// # async fn foo() -> Result<()> {
    /// # let tmp = tempfile::tempdir().unwrap();

    /// included in an iterator.  What this means is that any `delete`
    /// call can remove records that will at some point be accessed by
    /// the returned iterator, resulting in an `Err(_)` return.  To
    /// avoid this race condition, you can call `lock()` on the
    /// iterator, which blocks alexandria from cleaning the iternal
    /// record representation for items that are supposed to be
    /// accessed by the iterator.
    ///
    /// **Note:** `query` may still return "No such path" for these
    /// items, since they were already deleted from the tag cache.
    /// And a caveat worth mentioning: if the program aborts before
    /// the Iterator `drop` was able to run, the items will not be
    /// cleaned from disk and reloaded into cache on restart.
