// An iterator's typical use is a loop, but you have an abstraction over
// the loop's initialization, step and end-test.
// Example:
//    foo_iterator foo_loop = ...;
//    while (!foo_loop.endp()) {
//        foo element = foo_loop.next();
//        ...
//    }
// It is allowed to call endp() as many times as you want, and to terminate
// the loop any time you want.
