+/**
+ * CallbackFilterIterator that behaves like generators in terms of validity before the first call to `rewind()`
+ *
+ * This class stems from the motivation to have a filter iterator
+ * that uses callbacks, which behaves like any other iterator.
+ * Just like the SPL's `CallbackFilterIterator`, but that works
+ * differently: It isn't valid unless explicitly rewound first.
+ *
+ * Any other iterator, especially generators, doesn't need to be
+ * rewound first. That's most obvious with a generator that yields
+ * conditionally, just like a filter iterator would.
+ *
+ * Any call to `valid()`, `key()` or `current()` should return the
+ * same result as the very first iteration step would.
