Sergi, But current signature of query() method returns not just some iterator, but rather iterator of R which is type param of Query - i.e., we won't be able to return an int inside a QueryCursor<R>. At least without API change (signature of query() method will have to be changed to drop genericness, or in some other weird way). Is this what we really want? Or am I missing something in your point?
