  FollowTailIterator is a special version of TableScanIterator that is used
  as part of WITH RECURSIVE queries. It is designed to read from a temporary
  table at the same time as MaterializeIterator writes to the same table,
  picking up new records in the order they come in -- it follows the tail,
  much like the UNIX tool “tail -f”.
 
  Furthermore, when materializing a recursive query expression consisting of
  multiple query blocks, MaterializeIterator needs to run each block several
  times until convergence. (For a single query block, one iteration suffices,
  since the iterator sees new records as they come in.) Each such run, the
  recursive references should see only rows that were added since the last
  iteration, even though Init() is called anew. FollowTailIterator is thus
  different from TableScanIterator in that subsequent calls to Init() do not
  move the cursor back to the start.
 
  In addition, FollowTailIterator implements the WITH RECURSIVE iteration limit.
  This is not specified in terms of Init() calls, since one run can encompass
  many iterations. Instead, it keeps track of the number of records in the table
  at the start of iteration, and when it has read all of those records, the next
  iteration is deemed to have begun. If the iteration counter is above the
  user-set limit, it raises an error to stop runaway queries with infinite
  recursion.
