      • asLongIterator

        Wraps a standard iterator into a type-specific iterator.

Of course, any attempt to wrap an iterator returning the instances of the wrong class will generate a ClassCastException. The returned iterator is backed by i: changes to one of the iterators will affect the other, too.

        If i is already type-specific, it will returned and no new object will be generated.

        Parameters:
        i - an iterator.
        Returns:
        a type-specific iterator backed by i.
