Re: [scim] Charter discussion item: What are the use cases for having a SCIM cursors

   - can be implemented very efficiently without additional server state
   against databases that support ordered indexing
      - whereas offset based pagination tends to become unusably slow when
      the offset becomes very large
   - behaves more predictably than offset based pagination when insertions
   and deletions happen
