/**
 * Represents a forward-only iterator over a result set, which will lazily iterate
 * the results. The underlying <code>ResultSet</code> can be closed by calling the
 * {@link org.skife.jdbi.v2.ResultIterator#close()} method.
 * <p>
 * The default implementation of <code>ResultIterator</code> will automatically close
 * the result set after the last element has been retrieved via <code>next()</code> and
 * <code>hasNext()</code> is called (which will return false). This allows for iteration
 * over the results with automagic resource cleanup.
 * <p>
 * The <code>remove()</code> operation is not supported in the default
 * version, and will raise an <code>UnsupportedOperationException</code>
