BTreeMap
is a relatively specific data structure and the current signature enforces allocating a new collection and cloning the terms even if the consumer only needs to inspect a subset of the terms.This PR is a breaking change which aims to avoid this by using a closure to visit each of the terms contained in the query. The closure is passed as a trait object to keep the
Query
trait it self object-safe.The approach has the downside of pushing deduplication of identical terms into the visitor. But it also gives consumers the option of e.g. counting multiplicities.
