Enumerators *are* classes, except for built-in ones.

That's debatable.
There is no for-index support in Java, but there is in most (all?)

Python, PHP, Ruby, etc.
I suggest that Java is inferior in this regard.

>If you want full fledged iterators, use classes.
Please provide example of your suggesion for the case in the wiki.
