* starting point. The starting point is any element comparable to the
* elements of this set (even if it does not actually belong to the
* set). The next element of the returned iterator is the least element of
* the set that is greater than the starting point (if there are no
* elements greater than the starting point, {@link
* it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.BidirectionalIterator#hasNext() hasNext()} will return
* false). The previous element of the returned iterator is
* the greatest element of the set that is smaller than or equal to the
* starting point (if there are no elements smaller than or equal to the
* starting point, {@link it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.BidirectionalIterator#hasPrevious()
* hasPrevious()} will return false).
*
*
Note that passing the last element of the set as starting point and
* calling {@link it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.BidirectionalIterator#previous() previous()} you can traverse the
* entire set in reverse order.
