60   /// repeatedly inspect random consecutive portions of a trace. This means that
61   /// it will need to first move quickly to the beginning of each section and
62   /// then start its iteration. Given that the number of instructions can be in
63   /// the order of hundreds of millions, fast random access is necessary.
64   ///
65   /// An example of such a tool could be an inspector of the call graph of a
66   /// trace, where each call is represented with its start and end instructions.
67   /// Inspecting all the instructions of a call requires moving to its first
68   /// instruction and then iterating until the last instruction, which following
69   /// the pattern explained above.

71   /// Instead of using 0-based indices as identifiers, each Trace plug-in can
72   /// decide the nature of these identifiers and thus no assumptions can be made
