/** A template trait for iterable collections.
 *
 *  Collection classes mixing in this trait provide a method
 *  <code>elements</code> which returns an iterator over all the
 *  elements contained in the collection. They also provide a method `newBuilder`
 *  which creates a builder for collections of the same kind.
 *
 *  This trait implements Traversable's `foreach` method by stepping through
 *  all elements. Subclasses of `Iterable` should re-implement `foreach` with
 *  something more efficient, if possible.
 *
 *  This trait adds methods `elements`, `zip`, `zipAll`, `zipWithIndex`, `sameElements`,
 *  `takeRight`, `dropRight` to the methods inherited from trait `Traversable`.
