	/// The DirectoryIterator class is used to enumerate
	/// all files in a directory.
	///
	/// DirectoryIterator has some limitations:
	///   * only forward iteration (++) is supported
	///   * an iterator copied from another one will always
	///     point to the same file as the original iterator,
	///     even is the original iterator has been advanced
	///     (all copies of an iterator share their state with
	///     the original iterator)
	///   * because of this you should only use the prefix 
	///     increment operator
