I can add a remove method and test cases unless it's easier for you to just add it. I think it would just use the remove method on the Collection. If the iterator returned by the Collection implementer doesn't support it then this won't either. As for a use-case, I am using it for a displaying a number of our banner ads on our e-commerce site. The round-robin task dispatcher mentioned earlier is another one.
