What is the appropriate end state for Cursor.write()? #92

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Currently unspecified: Cursor normally has clear semantics for most methods: 
when you call a method, the cursor either moves, or it does not. The write 
method (and the new typed write method on TypedCursor) do not specify 
semantics. As a consequence, the cursor may be positioned anywhere following 
the write. Currently, all bridges do not move the cursor. However, expecting 
this behavior would be wrong; one would actually *expect* the cursor to be 
positioned "after" the origin node, assuming that it uses cursor semantics to 
walk the tree.

This should be defined and resolved before the 1.0 release.
