With opaque cursors, how does a client specify "a desired amount"?

  You just say "this cursor + 5 pages", for example.

    You send `GET /items[?cursor=<cursor>]` to my server. I respond: [ "items": [ {...}, {...}, {...}, ... ], "next_cursor": "77963b7a" ] How do you request "this cursor + 5 pages"?

      GET /items?cursor=77963b7a&add_to_cursor=5pages

    I strongly suggest not doing this since the application will be implementing `offset` in that scenario. This is the same as having Page-based pagination but with a cursor that acts a filter/sorting blob.
