NodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.
the set of nodes in a NodeList, the document subtree
governed by a particular Node, the results of a query, or
any other set of nodes. The set of nodes to be iterated is determined by
the implementation of the NodeIterator. DOM Level 2
specifies a single NodeIterator implementation for
document-order traversal of a document subtree. Instances of these
NodeIterators are created by calling
DocumentTraversal.createNodeIterator().
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification.
Since: 9, DOM Level 2/**

     The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity
reference nodes are visible to the NodeIterator. If
false, these children  and their descendants will be rejected. Note
that this rejection takes precedence over whatToShow and
the filter. Also note that this is currently the only situation where
NodeIterators may reject a complete subtree rather than
skipping individual nodes.



 To produce a view of the document that has entity references
expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use
the whatToShow flags to hide the entity reference node
and set expandEntityReferences to true when creating the
NodeIterator. To produce a view of the document that has
entity reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the
whatToShow flags to show the entity reference node and
set expandEntityReferences to false.
