24  /**
25   * Iterates backwards through a List, starting with the last element
26   * and continuing to the first. This is useful for looping around
27   * a list in reverse order without needing to actually reverse the list.
28   * <p>
29   * The first call to <code>next()</code> will return the last element
30   * from the list, and so on. The <code>hasNext()</code> method works
31   * in concert with the <code>next()</code> method as expected.
32   * However, the <code>nextIndex()</code> method returns the correct
33   * index in the list, thus it starts high and reduces as the iteration
34   * continues. The previous methods work similarly.
