// Package iterator provides a way to iterate over values stored in containers.
// note:
// 1. Full feature iterator is complicated, this package is just a experiment to explore how iterators could work in Go.
// 2. The functionality of this package is very simple and limited, may not meet the actual dev needs.
// 3. It is currently under development, unstable, and will not be completed for some time in the future.
// So, based on above factors, you may not use it in production. but, anyone is welcome to improve it.
// Hope that Go can support iterator in future. see https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/54245 and https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/56413
