> We're currently creating a pn_message_t and iterating over it using the pn_data_t data type and the various convenience methods surrounding it. This is great for iteration but we were also hoping to have a way to *mark* a point in the payload for future realignment. I looked at get_message_id() but that always seems to return NULL.
>  
> Let's take a pseudo example:
>  
> pn_data_rewind (pn_data);
> while (pn_data_next (pn_data))
> {
>     pn_atom_t atom = pn_data_get_atom (pn_data);
>     if(this_atom_might_be_useful)
>     {
>         // Mark this for potential modification later
>     }
> }
>  
> if (changes_are_required_based_on_a_combination_of_circumstances)

>     // Jump to earlier marker(s)

>     // put in relevant update(s)

> Is there anything we could use for this sort of use case? I want to avoid having to iterate *again* to find values, and I also want to be able to write functions which don't move (or move, then reset) the internal buffer pointers in proton. If there was something like a get_position() or set_position(), that would be perfect.
