import kernel

# The root of the collection hierarchy.
#
# Collections modelize finite groups of objects, called elements.
#
# The specific behavior and representation of collections is determined
# by the subclasses of the hierarchy.
#
# The main service of Collection is to provide a stable `iterator`
# method usable to retrieve all the elements of the collection.
#
# Additional services are provided.
# For an implementation point of view, Collection provide a basic
# implementation of these services using the `iterator` method.
# Subclasses often provide a more efficient implementation.
#
# Because of the `iterator` method, Collections instances can use
# the `for` control structure:
#
#         var x: Collection[U]
#         # ...
#         for u in x do
#             # u is a U
#             # ...
#         end
#
# that is equivalent with
#
#         var x: Collection[U]
#         # ...
#         var i = x.iterator
#         while i.is_ok do
#             var u = i.item # u is a U
#             # ...
#             i.next
#         end
