     24  * An implementation of {@code Iterable} which throws an exception on all
     25  * invocations of the {@link #iterator()} method after the first, and whose
     26  * iterator is always unmodifiable.
     27  *
     28  * <p>The {@code Iterable} specification does not make it absolutely clear what
     29  * should happen on a second invocation, so implementors have made various
     30  * choices, including:
     31  *
     32  * <ul>
     33  * <li>returning the same iterator again
     34  * <li>throwing an exception of some kind
     35  * <li>or the usual, <i>robust</i> behavior, which all known {@link Collection}
     36  *     implementations have, of returning a new, independent iterator
     37  * </ul>
     38  *
     39  * Because of this situation, any public method accepting an iterable should
     40  * invoke the {@code iterator} method only once, and should be tested using this
     41  * class. Exceptions to this rule should be clearly documented.
     42  *
     43  * <p>Note that although your APIs should be liberal in what they accept, your
     44  * methods which <i>return</i> iterables should make every attempt to return
     45  * ones of the robust variety.
     46  *
     47  * <p>This testing utility is not thread-safe.
