/**
 * @class StableIterator
 * @ingroup Iterators
 * @brief Stores the elements of an iterator and iterates a copy.
 *
 * This Iterator stores all the elements accessible by another Iterator into an internal data
 * structure (created at the construction), and then uses this structure for the iteration.
 * Iteration order is the same.
 *
 * @warning By default StableIterator takes ownership of the iterator given in parameter, (ie,
 * delete will be called on the input iterator). The deletion takes place when constructing the
 *StableIterator.
 *
 * This class is really useful when one needs to modify the graph during an iteration. For
 * instance the following code remove all nodes that match the function myfunc().
 * Using standard iterators for that operation is not possible since we modify the graph.
 *
 * @code
 * StableIterator<node> it(graph->getNodes());
 * while(it.hasNext()) {
 *  node n = it.next();
 *  if (myfunc(n))
 *     graph->delNode(n);
 * }
 * @endcode
