26   * This iterator creates a Cartesian product of the input iterables,
27   * equivalent to nested for-loops.
28   * <p>
29   * The iterables provided to the constructor are used in reverse order, each
30   * until exhaustion before proceeding to the next element of the prior iterable
31   * and repeating. Consider the following example:
32   * </p>
33   * <pre>{@code
34   * List<Character> iterable1 = Arrays.asList('A', 'B', 'C');
35   * List<Character> iterable2 = Arrays.asList('1', '2', '3');
36   * CartesianProductIterator<Character> it = new CartesianProductIterator<>(
37   *         iterable1,
38   *         iterable2);
39   * while (it.hasNext()) {
40   *     List<Character> tuple = it.next();
41   *     System.out.println(tuple.get(0) + ", " + tuple.get(1));
42   * }
43   * }</pre>
44   * <p>
45   * The output will be:
46   * </p>
47   * <pre>
48   * A, 1
49   * A, 2
50   * A, 3
51   * B, 1
52   * B, 2
53   * B, 3
54   * C, 1
55   * C, 2
56   * C, 3
57   * </pre>
58   * <p>
59   * The {@code remove()} operation is not supported, and will throw an
60   * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
61   * </p>
62   * <p>
63   * If any of the input iterables is empty, the Cartesian product will be empty.
64   * If any of the input iterables is infinite, the Cartesian product will be
65   * infinite.
66   * </p>
