All right, yeah, it *did* require that one be at least minimally familiar with 'java.util.Iterator' to understand exactly why "you will need the iterator", but every Java programmer from beginner onward surely is aware of 'Iterator#remove()', right?  Surely no one calling themselves a Java programmer could be ignorant of such a basic, fundamental, early concept in Java?  Could they?
