 *  @tparam A    the element type of the collection
 *
 *  @define traversableonceinfo
 *  This trait exists primarily to eliminate code duplication between
 *  `Iterator` and `Traversable`, and thus implements some of the common
 *  methods that can be implemented solely in terms of foreach without
 *  access to a `Builder`. It also includes a number of abstract methods
 *  whose implementations are provided by `Iterator`, `Traversable`, etc.
 *  It contains implementations common to `Iterators` and
 *  `Traversables`, such as folds, conversions, and other operations which
 *  traverse some or all of the elements and return a derived value.
 *  Directly subclassing `TraversableOnce` is not recommended - instead,
 *  consider declaring an `Iterator` with a `next` and `hasNext` method,
 *  creating an `Iterator` with one of the methods on the `Iterator` object,
 *  or declaring a subclass of `Traversable`.
