   156  	// - To limit the optimization that seeks lower-level iterators past keys shadowed by a range
   157  	//   tombstone. Limiting this seek to the file largestUserKey is necessary since
   158  	//   range tombstones are stored untruncated, while they only apply to keys within their
   159  	//   containing file's boundaries. For a detailed example, see comment above `mergingIter`.
   160  	// - To constrain the tombstone to act-within the bounds of the sstable when checking
   161  	//   containment. For forward iteration we need the smallestUserKey.
   162  	//
   163  	// An example is sstable bounds [c#8, g#12] containing a tombstone [b, i)#7.
   164  	// - When doing a SeekGE to user key X, the levelIter is at this sstable because X is either within
   165  	//   the sstable bounds or earlier than the start of the sstable (and there is no sstable in
   166  	//   between at this level). If X >= smallestUserKey, and the tombstone [b, i) contains X,
   167  	//   it is correct to SeekGE the sstables at lower levels to min(g, i) (i.e., min of
   168  	//   largestUserKey, tombstone.End) since any user key preceding min(g, i) must be covered by this
   169  	//   tombstone (since it cannot have a version younger than this tombstone as it is at a lower
   170  	//   level). And even if X = smallestUserKey or equal to the start user key of the tombstone,
   171  	//   if the above conditions are satisfied we know that the internal keys corresponding to X at
   172  	//   lower levels must have a version smaller than that in this file (again because of the level
   173  	//   argument). So we don't need to use sequence numbers for this comparison.
   174  	// - When checking whether this tombstone deletes internal key X we know that the levelIter is at this
   175  	//   sstable so (repeating the above) X.UserKey is either within the sstable bounds or earlier than the
   176  	//   start of the sstable (and there is no sstable in between at this level).
   177  	//   - X is at at a lower level. If X.UserKey >= smallestUserKey, and the tombstone contains
   178  	//     X.UserKey, we know X is deleted. This argument also works when X is a user key (we use
   179  	//     it when seeking to test whether a user key is deleted).
   180  	//   - X is at the same level. X must be within the sstable bounds of the tombstone so the
   181  	//     X.UserKey >= smallestUserKey comparison is trivially true. In addition to the tombstone containing
   182  	//     X we need to compare the sequence number of X and the tombstone (we don't need to look
   183  	//     at how this tombstone is truncated to act-within the file bounds, which are InternalKeys,
   184  	//     since X and the tombstone are from the same file).
   185  	//
   186  	// Iterating backwards has one more complication when checking whether a tombstone deletes
   187  	// internal key X at a lower level (the construction we do here also works for a user key X).
   188  	// Consider sstable bounds [c#8, g#InternalRangeDelSentinel] containing a tombstone [b, i)#7.
   189  	// If we are positioned at key g#10 at a lower sstable, the tombstone we will see is [b, i)#7,
   190  	// since the higher sstable is positioned at a key <= g#10. We should not use this tombstone
   191  	// to delete g#10. This requires knowing that the largestUserKey is a range delete sentinel,
   192  	// which we set in a separate bool below.
   193  	//
   194  	// These fields differs from the `*Boundary` fields in a few ways:
   195  	// - `*Boundary` is only populated when the iterator is positioned exactly on the sentinel key.
   196  	// - `*Boundary` can hold either the lower- or upper-bound, depending on the iterator direction.
