+/**
+ * An iterator for lists that allows the programmer
+ * to traverse the list in either direction, modify
+ * the list during iteration, and obtain the iterator's
+ * current position in the list. A {@code ListIterator}
+ * has no current element; its <I>cursor position</I> always
+ * lies between the element that would be returned by a call
+ * to {@code previous()} and the element that would be
+ * returned by a call to {@code next()}.
+ * An iterator for a list of length {@code n} has {@code n+1} possible
+ * cursor positions, as illustrated by the carets ({@code ^}) below:
+ * <PRE>
+ *                      Element(0)   Element(1)   Element(2)   ... Element(n-1)
+ * cursor positions:  ^            ^            ^            ^                  ^
+ * </PRE>
+ * Note that the {@link #remove} and {@link #set(Object)} methods are
+ * <i>not</i> defined in terms of the cursor position;  they are defined to
+ * operate on the last element returned by a call to {@link #next} or
+ * {@link #previous()}.
+ *
