/// Simple queries can be used if the query condition is straight forward,
/// i. e., a document reference, all documents, a query-by-example, or a simple
/// geo query. In a simple query you can specify exactly one collection and one
/// query criteria. In the following sections we describe the JavaScript shell
/// interface for simple queries, which you can use within the ArangoDB shell
/// and within actions and transactions. For other languages see the
/// corresponding language API documentation.
///
/// If a query returns a cursor, then you can use @FN{hasNext} and @FN{next} to
/// iterate over the result set or @FN{toArray} to convert it to an array.

/// The ArangoDB allows to selects documents based on geographic coordinates. In
/// order for this to work, a geo-spatial index must be defined. This index
/// will use a very elaborate algorithm to lookup neighbors that is a magnitude
/// faster than a simple R* index.
///
/// In general a geo coordinate is a pair of latitude and longitude. This can
/// either be an list with two elements like @CODE{[-10\, +30]} (latitude
/// first, followed by longitude) or an object like @CODE{{lon: -10\, lat: +30}}.
/// In order to find all documents within a given radius around a coordinate
/// use the @FN{within} operator. In order to find all documents near a given
/// document use the @FN{near} operator.
///
/// It is possible to define more than one geo-spatial index per collection. In
/// this case you must give a hint using the @FN{geo} operator which of indexes
/// should be used in a query.

///////////////////////////////////////////////
///
/// If, for example, you display the result of a user search, then you are in
/// general not interested in the completed result set, but only the first 10 or
/// so documents. Or maybe the next 10 documents for the second page. In this
/// case, you can the @FN{skip} and @FN{limit} operators. These operators work
/// like LIMIT in MySQL.
///
/// @FN{skip} used together with @FN{limit} can be used to implement pagination.
/// The @FN{skip} operator skips over the first n documents. So, in order to
/// create result pages with 10 result documents per page, you can use
/// @CODE{skip(n * 10).limit(10)} to access the 10 documents on the n.th page.
/// This result should be sorted, so that the pagination works in a predicable
/// way.
