Niall Pemberton reopened IO-181:
--------------------------------
I'm still against this - Iterable != Iterator and breaks the Iterable contract.
Just because its convenient doesn't mean its a good idea. I think this will
cause confusion and people to mis-use it, whatever the javadocs say.
> LineIterator should implement Iterable

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Michael Ernst
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> 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.
