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