/**
 * An iterator that does not range over its elements, but over ranges of
 * sub-iterators computed from its elements. By default, the sub-iterators of
 * elements are:
 * 
      
 * 
    • the iterator over the collection if the element is a
 * collection
 * 
    •  the iterator itself if the element is an iterator,
 * 
    •  the sub-iterator of an object O if the element is a {@link NullaryFunction} returning O
 *      (this can be used to create collections or iterators lazily, only when this point is reached), and
 * 
    •  the iterator over the singleton composed by the element if it is neither a
 * collection nor a iterator not a {@link NullaryFunction}.
 * 
    
 * 
    
 * For example,
 * NestedIterator(list.iterator()) will range over
 * "a", "b", "c", ... if list is
 * list("a", list("b", "c"), (NullaryFunction) () -> iterator("e", list("f", "g")), ...),
 * where list and iterator are functions creating lists and iterators from a variable number of arguments.
 * 
    
 * The method {@link #determineSubIterator(Object)} can be overridden in order to customize
 * the decision of when to recurse or not.
