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 * For example, consider an object graph:
035 * <pre>
036 *                 |- Branch -- Leaf
037 *                 |         \- Leaf
038 *         |- Tree |         /- Leaf
039 *         |       |- Branch -- Leaf
040 *  Forest |                 \- Leaf
041 *         |       |- Branch -- Leaf
042 *         |       |         \- Leaf
043 *         |- Tree |         /- Leaf
044 *                 |- Branch -- Leaf
045 *                 |- Branch -- Leaf</pre>
046 * The following {@code Transformer}, used in this class, will extract all
047 * the Leaf objects without creating a combined intermediate list:
048 * <pre>
049 * public Object transform(Object input) {
050 *   if (input instanceof Forest) {
051 *     return ((Forest) input).treeIterator();
052 *   }
053 *   if (input instanceof Tree) {
054 *     return ((Tree) input).branchIterator();
055 *   }
056 *   if (input instanceof Branch) {
057 *     return ((Branch) input).leafIterator();
058 *   }
059 *   if (input instanceof Leaf) {
060 *     return input;
061 *   }
062 *   throw new ClassCastException();
063 * }</pre>
064 * <p>
065 * Internally, iteration starts from the root object. When next is called,
066 * the transformer is called to examine the object. The transformer will return
067 * either an iterator or an object. If the object is an Iterator, the next element
068 * from that iterator is obtained and the process repeats. If the element is an object
069 * it is returned.
070 * <p>
071 * Under many circumstances, linking Iterators together in this manner is
072 * more efficient (and convenient) than using nested for loops to extract a list.
073 *
074 * @param <E> the type of elements returned by this iterator.
075 * @since 3.1
