//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Gets an iterator that operates over an object graph.
*
* This iterator can extract multiple objects from a complex tree-like object graph.
* The iteration starts from a single root object.
* It uses a Transformer to extract the iterators and elements.
* Its main benefit is that no intermediate List is created.
*
* For example, consider an object graph:
*
* |- Branch -- Leaf
* | \- Leaf
* |- Tree | /- Leaf
* | |- Branch -- Leaf
* Forest | \- Leaf
* | |- Branch -- Leaf
* | | \- Leaf
* |- Tree | /- Leaf
* |- Branch -- Leaf
* |- Branch -- Leaf
* The following Transformer, used in this class, will extract all
* the Leaf objects without creating a combined intermediate list:
*
* public Object transform(Object input) {
* if (input instanceof Forest) {
* return ((Forest) input).treeIterator();
* }
* if (input instanceof Tree) {
* return ((Tree) input).branchIterator();
* }
* if (input instanceof Branch) {
* return ((Branch) input).leafIterator();
* }
* if (input instanceof Leaf) {
* return input;
* }
* throw new ClassCastException();
* }
*
* Internally, iteration starts from the root object. When next is called,
* the transformer is called to examine the object. The transformer will return
* either an iterator or an object. If the object is an Iterator, the next element
* from that iterator is obtained and the process repeats. If the element is an object
* it is returned.
*
* Under many circumstances, linking Iterators together in this manner is
* more efficient (and convenient) than using nested for loops to extract a list.
