An enhanced for loop on a List is no different than using an Iterator 
right?  So is there any problem removing the current element from the 
list while using the enhanced for loop?  I couldn't find anything that 
said it was OK or not OK in the JLS.

import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.*;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.*;

public class test9 {
     public static void main(String... args) {
         List<Integer> list = Stream.of(1,5,7,9,13).collect(toList());

         for (Integer i : list)
             if (i == 9)
                 list.remove(i);

         list.forEach(System.out::println);

         list = Stream.of(1,5,7,9,13).collect(toList());

         Iterator<Integer> iter = list.iterator();

         while (iter.hasNext())
             if (iter.next() == 9)
                 iter.remove();

         list.forEach(System.out::println);
     }
}

Thanks,
