Description
For jobs.iter but could apply elsewhere.
If start=10 and startts=100000 will it
- skip 10 results after time
100000or will it - return results that are at least 10 from the start and after time
100000 - return results that are at least 10 from the most recent and no older than time
100000(re: ambiguity in #136 )?
The same question about endts and start.

Research direction
Start with the jobs.iter entry point and compare its start, end, startts, and endts handling with the ambiguity noted in #136. Determine which skip and time-bound semantics the API currently uses, then document the behavior and cover the clarified combinations if an existing test location is found.
