**      1. A range delete removes keys 1..9999 using a range delete.
**      2. Keys 1 through 9999 are reinserted.
**      3. The levels containing the ops in 1. and 2. above are merged. Call
**         this level N. Level N contains FC pointers to level N+1.
**
**   Then, if the user attempts to query for (key>=2 LIMIT 10), the 
**   lsmMCursorSeek() call will iterate through 9998 entries searching for a 
**   pointer down to the level N+1 that is never actually used. It would be
**   much better if the multi-cursor could do this lazily - only seek to the
