OK, sounds good. I'll do so in next version.

But I feel sg_miter_get_next_page() is not very appropriate name, because
it gets the next page only if necessary.  If I can find more appropriate name,
I'll rename it.

sg_miter_seek() should work as far as it is called just after sg_miter_start(),
or just after sg_miter_stop() in the middle of iteration (Although I only
tested the former case).  I omitted a function comment in excuse of the static
function, but I should write something I said above.
