26   * An implementation of {@code Iterable} which throws an exception on all
27   * invocations of the {@link #iterator()} method after the first, and whose
28   * iterator is always unmodifiable.
29   *
30   * <p>The {@code Iterable} specification does not make it absolutely clear what
31   * should happen on a second invocation, so implementors have made various
32   * choices, including:
33   *
34   * <ul>
35   * <li>returning the same iterator again
36   * <li>throwing an exception of some kind
37   * <li>or the usual, <i>robust</i> behavior, which all known {@link Collection}
38   *     implementations have, of returning a new, independent iterator
39   * </ul>
40   *
41   * <p>Because of this situation, any public method accepting an iterable should
42   * invoke the {@code iterator} method only once, and should be tested using this
43   * class. Exceptions to this rule should be clearly documented.
44   *
45   * <p>Note that although your APIs should be liberal in what they accept, your
46   * methods which <i>return</i> iterables should make every attempt to return
47   * ones of the robust variety.
48   *
49   * <p>This testing utility is not thread-safe.
