package iterator

// "Optional" is kind of odd. It's not an iterator in the strictest sense, but
// it's easier to implement as an iterator.
//
// Consider what it means. It means that we have a subconstraint which we do
// not want to constrain the query -- we just want it to return the matching
// subgraph if one matches at all. By analogy to regular expressions, it is the
// '?' operator.
//
// If it were a proper iterator of its own (and indeed, a reasonable refactor
// of this iterator would be to make it such) it would contain an all iterator
// -- all things in the graph. It matches everything (as does the regex "(a)?")
