/**
 * A <code>SnapshotCloneIterable</code> returns an iterator on a "snapshot" of a
 * collection, allowing for concurrent access to the original collection. A
 * copy of the collection is created when the iterable is constructed.
 * As a result, the contents of the collection will be the same with
 * every call to {@link #iterator()}.
 * <p>
 * The original collection passed to the <code>SnapshotCloneIterable</code>'s
 * constructor should be thread-safe (e.g. {@link java.util.Vector});
 * otherwise you run the risk of a corrupted collection.
 * <p>
 * By default, the iterator returned by a <code>SnapshotCloneIterable</code> does not
 * support the {@link Iterator#remove()} operation; this is because it does not
 * have access to the original collection. But if the <code>SnapshotCloneIterable</code>
 * is supplied with a {@link CloneIterator.Remover}
 * it will delegate the
 * {@link Iterator#remove()} operation to the <code>Remover</code>.
 * Alternatively, a subclass can override the iterable's {@link #remove(Object)}
 * method.
 * <p>
 * This iterable is useful for multiple passes over a collection that should not
 * be changed (e.g. by another thread) between passes.
 *
 * @param <E> the type of elements returned by the iterable's iterator
