 * An JoinedIterator is an Iterator that wraps a number of Iterators.

 * This class makes multiple iterators look like one to the caller.
 * When any method from the Iterator interface is called, the JoinedIterator
 * will delegate to a single underlying Iterator. The JoinedIterator will
 * invoke the Iterators in sequence until all Iterators are exhausted.
