Deleting is quite error prone, but appending during iteration is very useful in
implementing an iterative form of recursive algorithms. It effectively gives a
FIFO queue which remembers all items after you're done. In general the
behaviour of a list iterator can be understood completely if you explain that
it simply remembers the current index.
