Description
Again primarily a question about jobs.iter. Unfortunately this is somewhat related to #138 and #136, so I'll repeat some comments.
Let's say ts is the timestamp for June 13 2019.
If I do jobs.iter(startts=ts, count=100) will this
- Return 100 jobs where the most recent job is the first job chronologically before
ts? - Return 100 jobs where the oldest job is the first job chronologically after
ts? - Return 100 jobs starting from the most recent job, where no job is before
ts?
Again, similar question about endts.

Research direction
Start by reading the implementation and existing documentation for jobs.iter, focusing on the startts, endts, and count parameters. Compare their behavior with the questions in this issue and related issues #138 and #136; done means the timestamp semantics are explicitly documented or otherwise clarified.
