/**
 * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the {@code Iterator}
 * interface, to make this interface easier to implement for certain types of
 * data sources.
 *
 * <p>{@code Iterator} requires its implementations to support querying the
 * end-of-data status without changing the iterator's state, using the {@link
 * #hasNext} method. But many data sources, such as {@link
 * java.io.Reader#read()}), do not expose this information; the only way to
 * discover whether there is any data left is by trying to retrieve it. These
 * types of data sources are ordinarily difficult to write iterators for. But
 * using this class, one must implement only the {@link #computeNext} method,
 * and invoke the {@link #endOfData} method when appropriate.
 *
 * <p>Another example is an iterator that skips over null elements in a backing
 * iterator. This could be implemented as:
 *
 * <pre>  public static Iterator&lt;String> skipNulls(
 *       final Iterator&lt;String> in) {
 *     return new AbstractIterator&lt;String>() {
 *       protected String computeNext() {
 *         while (in.hasNext()) {
 *           String s = in.next();
 *           if (s != null) {
 *             return s;
 *           }
 *         }
 *         return endOfData();
 *       }
 *     };
 *   }</pre>
 *
 * <p>This class supports iterators that include null elements. The
 * {@link #remove} method throws an {@link UnsupportedOperationException}, but
 * the similar class {@link AbstractRemovableIterator} does support
 * {@code remove}.
