/**
 * IndexPager is an efficient pager which uses a (roughly unique) index in the
 * data set to implement paging, rather than a "LIMIT offset,limit" clause.
 * In MySQL, such a limit/offset clause requires counting through the
 * specified number of offset rows to find the desired data, which can be
 * expensive for large offsets.
 *
 * ReverseChronologicalPager is a child class of the abstract IndexPager, and
 * contains  some formatting and display code which is specific to the use of
 * timestamps as  indexes. Here is a synopsis of its operation:
 *
 *    * The query is specified by the offset, limit and direction (dir)
 *      parameters, in addition to any subclass-specific parameters.
 *    * The offset is the non-inclusive start of the DB query. A row with an
 *      index value equal to the offset will never be shown.
 *    * The query may either be done backwards, where the rows are returned by
 *      the database in the opposite order to which they are displayed to the
 *      user, or forwards. This is specified by the "dir" parameter, dir=prev
 *      means backwards, anything else means forwards. The offset value
 *      specifies the start of the database result set, which may be either
 *      the start or end of the displayed data set. This allows "previous"
 *      links to be implemented without knowledge of the index value at the
 *      start of the previous page.
 *    * An additional row beyond the user-specified limit is always requested.
 *      This allows us to tell whether we should display a "next" link in the
 *      case of forwards mode, or a "previous" link in the case of backwards
 *      mode. Determining whether to display the other link (the one for the
 *      page before the start of the database result set) can be done
 *      heuristically by examining the offset.
 *
 *    * An empty offset indicates that the offset condition should be omitted
 *      from the query. This naturally produces either the first page or the
 *      last page depending on the dir parameter.
 *
 *  Subclassing the pager to implement concrete functionality should be fairly
 *  simple, please see the examples in HistoryAction.php and
 *  SpecialBlockList.php. You just need to override formatRow(),
 *  getQueryInfo() and getIndexField(). Don't forget to call the parent
 *  constructor if you override it.
 *
