[sword-devel] Verse ranges and linkage information

[Troy A. Griffitts]

If SWModule::setSkipConsecutiveLinks(true) then SWModule::increment() 
(and operator ++) will skip to the next verse which is not a link to the 
current verse.

Typically usage is that a chapter will simply do a for (;;) loop through 
the verses in the chapter and it all just works.

There is also a method which was added, I think by Ben Morgan a while 
back: SWModule::isLinked, though I'm not sure why it was needed and I've 
never had a need in any frontend I've written to use it.

Tech details about links:

There is often no way to really tell if a verse is a link.  Some module 
drivers implement this the same as filesystem inodes, which basically 
resemble hard links (not symbolic links)-- basically, just reusing the 
same data pointer in the index.  But since links are almost exclusively 
consecutive, a practical check can be performed to see if the current 
entry is the same as the next entry.
