Alternatively I think I'll make a Javascript-native result array from the
MSet by iterating it automatically, which precludes the need for an explicit
MSetIterator api. The SQLite binding works that way, iterating all columns
in a row.

Making binding APIs a bit higher-level is pretty common in Node modules.
Several high-level approaches can be implemented in a module.
