Noah Levitt commented on IO-181:
--------------------------------
> may expect that each call to Iterable.iterator returns a fresh iterator that
> shares no state with other iterators
Oh, right, that makes sense. Still, if something is both an Iterable and an
Iterator, I think it's intuitive (and as you point out, definitely acceptable
if documented) that iterator() would return itself.
> LineIterator should implement Iterable

> org.apache.commons.io.LineIterator does not implement Iterable. This makes
> it impossible to use in certain stylized ways, such as in a new-style for
> statement. Such use is not always desirable (it might temporarily leak a
> file descriptor, until the finalizer is called), but should be possible in
> situations where it is known to be acceptable.
