/**
* Iterates backwards through a List, starting with the last element
* and continuing to the first. This is useful for looping around
* a list in reverse order without needing to actually reverse the list.
*
* The first call to next() will return the last element
* from the list, and so on. The hasNext() method works
* in concert with the next() method as expected.
* However, the nextIndex() method returns the correct
* index in the list, thus it starts high and reduces as the iteration
* continues. The previous methods work similarly.
