/**
    an ExtendedIterator is a ClosableIterator on which other operations are
    defined for convenience in iterator composition: composition, filtering
    in, filtering out, and element mapping.
<br>
    NOTE that the result of each of these operations consumes the base
    iterator(s); they do not make independant copies.
<br>
    The canonical implementation of ExtendedIterator is NiceIterator, which
    also defines static methods for these operations that will work on any
    ClosableIterators.
