//! Composable external iterators
//!
//! # The `Iterator` trait
//!
//! This module defines Rust's core iteration trait. The `Iterator` trait has
//! one unimplemented method, `next`. All other methods are derived through
//! default methods to perform operations such as `zip`, `chain`, `enumerate`,
//! and `fold`.
//!
//! The goal of this module is to unify iteration across all containers in Rust.
//! An iterator can be considered as a state machine which is used to track
//! which element will be yielded next.
//!
//! There are various extensions also defined in this module to assist with
//! various types of iteration, such as the `DoubleEndedIterator` for iterating
//! in reverse, the `FromIterator` trait for creating a container from an
//! iterator, and much more.
//!
//! # Rust's `for` loop
//!
//! The special syntax used by rust's `for` loop is based around the
//! `IntoIterator` trait defined in this module. `for` loops can be viewed as a
//! syntactical expansion into a `loop`, for example, the `for` loop in this
//! example is essentially translated to the `loop` below.
//!
//! ```
//! let values = vec![1, 2, 3];
//!
//! for x in values {
//!     println!("{}", x);
//! }
//!
//! // Rough translation of the iteration without a `for` iterator.
//! # let values = vec![1, 2, 3];
//! let mut it = values.into_iter();
//! loop {
//!     match it.next() {
//!         Some(x) => println!("{}", x),
//!         None => break,
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Because `Iterator`s implement `IntoIterator`, this `for` loop syntax can be
//! applied to any iterator over any type.
