An Iterator that restarts when it reaches the end.
The iterator will loop continuously around the provided elements, unless there are no elements in the collection to begin with, or all the elements have been removed
.
Concurrent modifications are not directly supported, and for most collection
implementations will throw a ConcurrentModificationException.

Removes the previously retrieved item from the underlying collection.
This feature is only supported if the underlying collection's iterator
method returns an implementation that supports it.
This method can only be called after at least one next
method call. After a removal, the remove method may not be called again until another next has been performed. If the reset
is called, then remove may not be called until next
is called again.
