A meta comment here for the future direction: I think it really makes a
lot of sense if we could have the Rust abstraction for struct ma_state,
that'll allow us to have flexible locking strategy and Iterator-like
interface. Maybe it's something Andrew can take a deeper look when
MapleTree binding is in-tree (no word play intented ;-))?

For example, with a ma_state binding, we can do:

    let mas = MAState::new(self, 0..);

    while let Some(v) = mas.next() {
    	drop(v)
    }
