/**
 * An IteratorChain is an Iterator that wraps a number of Iterators.
 * <p>
 * This class makes multiple iterators look like one to the caller
 * When any method from the Iterator interface is called, the IteratorChain
 * will delegate to a single underlying Iterator. The IteratorChain will
 * invoke the Iterators in sequence until all Iterators are exhausted.
 * <p>
 * Under many circumstances, linking Iterators together in this manner is
 * more efficient (and convenient) than reading out the contents of each
 * Iterator into a List and creating a new Iterator.
 * <p>
 * Calling a method that adds new Iterator<i>after a method in the Iterator
 * interface has been called</i> will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.
 * Subclasses should <i>take care</i> to not alter the underlying List of Iterators.
 * <p>
 * NOTE: As from version 3.0, the IteratorChain may contain no
 * iterators. In this case the class will function as an empty iterator.
