/// An domain is a glorified column; the database descriptor for this column
/// must specify a prefix-extractor otherwise this domain just behaves like
/// a regular key/value column. domain is used to create iterable domains of
/// a column which all share the same key-prefix.
///
/// The domain allows a concatenation of two strings to form a key. This con-
/// catenated key is still unique for the column as a whole and is stored as
/// the full concatenation -- however, as stated above the prefix function must
/// be aware of how such a concatenation can be separated back into two
/// strings.
///
/// db::domain allows the user to query for either just the first string, or
/// the whole concatenation. In either case, the resulting iterator can move
/// only around the keys and values within the domain of that first string.
/// The iterator presents the user with it.first = second string only, thereby
/// hiding the prefix allowing for easier iteration of the domain.
///
/// domain is not good at reverse iteration due to limitations in RocksDB. Thus
/// it's better to just flip the comparator function for the column.
