/**
* Transforms a collection of input elements to a collection of output elements, using a {@link Transformation} to
* process each element.
*
* Once the input is set (setInput()), output() may be called to get an iterator to set the transformation process in
* motion. output() will return the same iterable/iterator as long as the input remains the same. This means that one
* cannot transform the input element multiple times in parallel.
*
* e.g.,
*
* {@code
* setInput(input);
* iter = output().iterator();
* iter.next(); // -> object#1
* output().iterator().next(); // -> object#2 (the iterator is the same)
* setInput(otherInput);
* output().iterator().next(); // -> object#a
* iter.next(); // -> object#3 (the original iterator/transformation can still be used)
* }
