/** @file iter-chain-search.hpp
 ** Evaluation mechanism to apply a sequence of conditions onto a linear search.
 ** This search algorithm is implemented on top of a tree expanding (monadic) filter pipeline,
 ** to allow for backtracking. The intention is not to combine the individual conditions, but
 ** rather to apply them one by one. After finding a match for the first condition, we'll search
 ** for the next condition _starting at the position of the previous match_. In the most general
 ** case, this immediate progression down the search chain might be too greedy; it could be that
 ** we don't find a match for the next condition, but if we backtrack and first search further
 ** on the previous condition, continuing with the search from that further position might
 ** then lead to a match. Basically we have to try all combinations of all possible local
 ** matches, to find a solution to satisfy the whole chain of conditions.
 ** 
 ** @see IterCursor_test
 ** @see iter-adapter.hpp
 ** @see [usage example](event-log.hpp)
