Hi Tito, thanks for your interest.

I could add a throttle, such that LOps or SOps are only sent out when there
has either been no change for 100 ms or if change is continuous then send
only every second.
The projects that have led to this typically have only a few hundred deltas
per seconf, after filtering, sorting, etc, browsers are typically seeing
only a dozen deltas per second or less.

Head and Tail as in the Unix commands - similar to SQL LIMIT.

LOps and SOps are internal JSON/JS protocols use to communicate between
Silos, Filters, Sorts, etc.
The LOp operations are 'state' (to set the initial state), 'insert' (a row
at a position), 'delete' (the row at a position) and 'update' (a row at a
position).

A result list is kept ordered by manipulating it by position. The 'sort'
transform takes a SOps (set operations) and produces (LOps) list operations.
E.g. {sop:'insert', row:{id:'1',foo:'bar}} -> sort(some comparison func)
-> {lop:'insert', pos:23, row:{id'1',foo:'bar'}};

Will do...

I'll be improving the docs as I go along.
Thanks for your feedback,
