026/**
027 * An Iterator that can traverse multiple iterators down an object graph.
028 * <p>
029 * This iterator can extract multiple objects from a complex tree-like object graph.
030 * The iteration starts from a single root object.
031 * It uses a {@code Transformer} to extract the iterators and elements.
032 * Its main benefit is that no intermediate {@code List} is created.
033 * </p>
034 * <p>
035 * For example, consider an object graph:
036 * </p>
037 * <pre>
038 *                 |- Branch -- Leaf
039 *                 |         \- Leaf
040 *         |- Tree |         /- Leaf
041 *         |       |- Branch -- Leaf
042 *  Forest |                 \- Leaf
043 *         |       |- Branch -- Leaf
044 *         |       |         \- Leaf
045 *         |- Tree |         /- Leaf
046 *                 |- Branch -- Leaf
047 *                 |- Branch -- Leaf</pre>
048 * <p>
049 * The following {@code Transformer}, used in this class, will extract all
050 * the Leaf objects without creating a combined intermediate list:
051 * </p>
052 * <pre>
053 * public Object transform(Object input) {
054 *   if (input instanceof Forest) {
055 *     return ((Forest) input).treeIterator();
056 *   }
057 *   if (input instanceof Tree) {
058 *     return ((Tree) input).branchIterator();
059 *   }
060 *   if (input instanceof Branch) {
061 *     return ((Branch) input).leafIterator();
062 *   }
063 *   if (input instanceof Leaf) {
064 *     return input;
065 *   }
066 *   throw new ClassCastException();
067 * }</pre>
068 * <p>
069 * Internally, iteration starts from the root object. When next is called,
070 * the transformer is called to examine the object. The transformer will return
071 * either an iterator or an object. If the object is an Iterator, the next element
072 * from that iterator is obtained and the process repeats. If the element is an object
073 * it is returned.
074 * </p>
075 * <p>
076 * Under many circumstances, linking Iterators together in this manner is
077 * more efficient (and convenient) than using nested for loops to extract a list.
078 * </p>
079 *
080 * @param <E> the type of elements returned by this iterator.
081 * @since 3.1
