// be properly created by Create or storage.Find. Iterators range over key-value
// pairs, so it's convenient to use them for maps. This structure is similar in
// function to Neo .net framework's Iterator.

// Next advances the iterator returning true if it was successful (and you
// can use Value to get value for slices or key-value pair for maps) and false
// otherwise (and there are no more elements in this Iterator). This function
// uses `System.Iterator.Next` syscall.

// Value returns iterator's current value. It's only valid to call after
// successful Next call. This function uses `System.Iterator.Value` syscall.
// For slices the result is just value.
// For maps the result can be casted to a slice of 2 elements: key and value.
// For storage iterators refer to `storage.FindFlags` documentation.
