+/**
+ * An extended version of Iterator to support the extra features of Lists. The
+ * elements may be accessed in forward or reverse order, elements may be
+ * replaced as well as removed, and new elements may be inserted, during the
+ * traversal of the list.
+ * <p>
+ *
+ * A list with n elements provides n+1 iterator positions (the front, the end,
+ * or between two elements). Note that <code>remove</code> and <code>set</code>
+ * operate on the last element returned, whether it was by <code>next</code>
+ * or <code>previous</code>.
