Description Jeremy Orlow 2011-03-15 22:07:20 UTC 
We should add IDBCursor.advance(number of items to move forward).  This was discussed in the thread "Indexed Database API" started by Ben Dilts.  tl;dr of thread: the basic use case has to do with pagination across non-unique indexes and wanting to avoid making a large number of .continue() calls.
