024/**
025 * An iterator which forwards all its method calls to another iterator. Subclasses should override
026 * one or more methods to modify the behavior of the backing iterator as desired per the <a
027 * href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern">decorator pattern</a>.
028 *
029 * <p><b>{@code default} method warning:</b> This class forwards calls to <i>only some</i> {@code
030 * default} methods. Specifically, it forwards calls only for methods that existed <a
031 * href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Iterator.html">before {@code default}
032 * methods were introduced</a>. For newer methods, like {@code forEachRemaining}, it inherits their
033 * default implementations. When those implementations invoke methods, they invoke methods on the
034 * {@code ForwardingIterator}.
