Research direction

Start by reading filterVcf() and the GenomicFiles reduction approach described in the issue. Clarify how range-based iteration should interact with incremental filtering and functional, side-effect-free processing. Done should include an agreed range-filtering behavior rather than filtering only by yield count.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Would be useful to filter a VCF incrementally by range. Range-based iteration makes sense when e.g. removing duplicates. Right now filterVcf() only works by yield count. The GenomicFiles package makes reduction easier but not necessarily filtering at the file level. At least, side effects are undesirable in that functional framework.
