/**
 * The XMPPResultSet class represents an <set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'> element form XEP-0059.
 * It extends NSXMLElement.
 *
 * Calling resultSet on an NSXMLElement returns an XMPPResultSet if it exists (see NSXMLElement+XEP_0059.h)
 *
 * This class exists to provide developers an easy way to add functionality to Result Set processing.
 * Simply add your own category to XMPPResultSet to extend it with your own custom methods.
 *
 * XMPPResultSet uses NSNotFound to Specify undefined integer values i.e. max,firstIndex and count.
 * XMPPResultSet uses a NSString of 0 length but not nil to supply empty elements i.e. before and after.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * To fetch the last 10 items in a result set you need the following XML:
 *
 * <set xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm'>
 *  <max>10</max>
 *  <before/>
 * </set>
 *
 * This Result Set can be created by:
 *
 * [XMPPResultSet resultSetWithMax:10 firstIndex:NSNotFound after:nil before:@""];
