/**
 * An expanded {@code Iterable} API, providing functionality similar to Java 8's powerful <a href=
 * "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/stream/package-summary.html#package.description"
 * >streams library</a> in a slightly different way.
 *
 * <p>The following types of methods are provided:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>chaining methods which return a new {@code FluentIterable} based in some way on the
 *       contents of the current one (for example {@link #transform})
 *   <li>element extraction methods which facilitate the retrieval of certain elements (for example
 *       {@link #last})
 *   <li>query methods which answer questions about the {@code FluentIterable}'s contents (for
 *       example {@link #anyMatch})
 *   <li>conversion methods which copy the {@code FluentIterable}'s contents into a new collection
 *       or array (for example {@link #toList})
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Several lesser-used features are currently available only as static methods on the {@link
 * Iterables} class.
 *
 * <p><a id="streams"></a>
 *
 * <h3>Comparison to streams</h3>
 *
 * <p>Starting with Java 8, the core Java class libraries provide a new "Streams" library (in {@code
 * java.util.stream}), which is similar to {@code FluentIterable} but generally more powerful. Key
 * differences include:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>A stream is <i>single-use</i>; it becomes invalid as soon as any "terminal operation" such
 *       as {@code findFirst()} or {@code iterator()} is invoked. (Even though {@code Stream}
 *       contains all the right method <i>signatures</i> to implement {@link Iterable}, it does not
 *       actually do so, to avoid implying repeat-iterability.) {@code FluentIterable}, on the other
 *       hand, is multiple-use, and does implement {@link Iterable}.
 *   <li>Streams offer many features not found here, including {@code min/max}, {@code distinct},
 *       {@code reduce}, {@code sorted}, the very powerful {@code collect}, and built-in support for
 *       parallelizing stream operations.
 *   <li>{@code FluentIterable} contains several features not available on {@code Stream}, which are
 *       noted in the method descriptions below.
 *   <li>Streams include primitive-specialized variants such as {@code IntStream}, the use of which
 *       is strongly recommended.
 *   <li>Streams are standard Java, not requiring a third-party dependency (but do render your code
 *       incompatible with Java 7 and earlier).
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Example</h3>
 *
 * <p>Here is an example that accepts a list from a database call, filters it based on a predicate,
 * transforms it by invoking {@code toString()} on each element, and returns the first 10 elements
 * as a {@code List}:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * ImmutableList<String> results =
 *     FluentIterable.from(database.getClientList())
 *         .filter(Client::isActiveInLastMonth)
 *         .transform(Object::toString)
 *         .limit(10)
 *         .toList();
 * }</pre>
 *
 * The approximate stream equivalent is:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * List<String> results =
 *     database.getClientList()
 *         .stream()
 *         .filter(Client::isActiveInLastMonth)
 *         .map(Object::toString)
 *         .limit(10)
 *         .collect(Collectors.toList());
 * }</pre>
