Range performs a depth-first traversal over reachable values in a message.

Options configures traversal of a message value tree.

func (o Options) Range(m protoreflect.Message, push, pop func(protopath.Values) error) error
Range performs a depth-first traversal over reachable values in a message. The first push and the last pop are to push/pop a protopath.Root step. If push or pop return any non-nil error (other than Break or Terminate), it terminates the traversal and is returned by Range.
The rules for traversing a message is as follows:
For messages, iterate over every populated known and extension field. Each field is preceded by a push of a protopath.FieldAccess step, followed by recursive application of the rules on the field value, and succeeded by a pop of that step. If the message has unknown fields, then push an protopath.UnknownAccess step followed immediately by pop of that step.
As an exception to the above rule, if the current message is a google.protobuf.Any message, expand the underlying message (if resolvable). The expanded message is preceded by a push of a protopath.AnyExpand step, followed by recursive application of the rules on the underlying message, and succeeded by a pop of that step. Mutations to the expanded message are written back to the Any message when popping back out.
For lists, iterate over every element. Each element is preceded by a push of a protopath.ListIndex step, followed by recursive application of the rules on the list element, and succeeded by a pop of that step.
For maps, iterate over every entry. Each entry is preceded by a push of a protopath.MapIndex step, followed by recursive application of the rules on the map entry value, and succeeded by a pop of that step.
Mutations should only be made to the last value, otherwise the effects on traversal will be undefined. If the mutation is made to the last value during to a push, then the effects of the mutation will affect traversal. For example, if the last value is currently a message, and the push function populates a few fields in that message, then the newly modified fields will be traversed.
The protopath.Values provided to push functions is only valid until the corresponding pop call and the values provided to a pop call is only valid for the duration of the pop call itself.
