The input iterators like TermIterator have the standard C++
input iterator semantics, so advancing x invalidates y. There's not
a direct way to clone an iterator - you'd have to get a fresh one from
the parent object and call skip_to() on it to advance it to the same
position.
The bidirectional iterators (like MSetIterator and ESetIterator) can
be cloned just by making a copy.
Cheers,
