Partial select

Nobody has claimed this yet.

I have an use case where I plan to store the users in the db with key `users/{id}`. So the keys will be `users/1`
`users/2`
and so on.
Each key will have details for the users like name, address, phone number etc.
Now I can retrieve all the users by using the _list api_ as follows
`db.list('/users/', function (err, nodes) { })`.

Now Is there a way where I can select/get/list only 10 users from a list of 100 ? This may be based on timestamp (last updated users). I require this as I want to reduce the loading time as fetching 10 users is faster than fetching 100 users and then showing only 10 of them on UI.

Start by reading the `db.list('/users/', callback)` entry point and the existing issue discussion about partial selection. Determine how limiting results and ordering by last-updated timestamp should work; done means the list API can return only the requested subset without fetching the full user list.
