/**
 * Data transfer object to pass paging parameters for queries.
 *
 * The page is defined by two parameters:
 * - the <code>skip</code> parameter defines number of items to skip.
 * - the <code>take</code> parameter sets how many items to return in a page.
 * - additionally, the optional <code>total</code> parameter tells to return total number of items in the query.
 *
 * Remember: not all implementations support the <code>total</code> parameter
 * because its generation may lead to severe performance implications.
 *
 * ### Example ###
 *
 *     let filter = FilterParams.fromTuples("type", "Type1");
 *     let paging = new PagingParams(0, 100);
 *
 *     myDataClient.getDataByFilter(filter, paging, (err, page) => {...});
