/**
 * A generator that relies on a preexisting generator for most of its work. For example, a derived
 * iterator generator may delegate the work of creating the underlying collection to an inner
 * collection generator.
 *
 * {@code GwtTestSuiteGenerator} expects every {@code DerivedIterator} implementation to provide
 * a one-arg constructor accepting its inner generator as an argument). This requirement enables it
 * to generate source code (since GWT cannot use reflection to generate the suites).
