Realtime Channel history

[tiholic]

Realtime#Channel#Channel#history will return PaginatedResult.

void getHistory([ably.RealtimeHistoryParams params]) async {
    var result = await channel.history(params);

    var messages = result.items; //get messages
    var hasNextPage = result.hasNext(); //tells whether there are more results
    if(hasNextPage){    
      result = await result.next();  //fetches next page results
      messages = result.items;
    }
    if(!hasNextPage){
      result = await result.first();  //fetches first page results
      messages = result.items;
    }
}

// history with default params
getHistory();

// sorted and filtered history
getHistory(
  ably.RealtimeHistoryParams(
    direction: 'forwards',
    limit: 10,
    start: DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(0),
    end: DateTime.now(),
    untilAttach: false
  )
);

Interesting. Is this behaviour obvious? Maybe I don't fully understand the context (I've not loaded the app in a while, least not for this branch), but I would usually expect a long-press to first present a menu or something.

@QuintinWillison long press is not intuitive, I had a plan to enhance this, but primary focus was not on example.
