While it is useful to have the "limit" parameter in API requests, it's use would be greatly enhanced if an "offset" parameter existed as well. Let's say I have 10,000 history rows to retrieve through the API. It would make sense to not only be able to limit the result to 2000 rows at a time, but also submit an offset that so that I can first get the first 2000, then the next 2000, etc.

I created a patch to do this in 2.2.x and it was a trivial addition to add it only for history.get. I'm not sure what would have to be done to add it everywhere.
