+ * @brief   A recursive array iterator
+ * @author  Marcus Boerger
+ * @version 1.0
+ * @since PHP 6.0
+ *
+ * Passes the RecursiveIterator interface to the inner Iterator and provides
+ * the same functionality as FilterIterator. This allows you to skip parents
+ * and all their childs before loading them all. You need to care about
+ * function getChildren() because it may not always suit your needs. The 
+ * builtin behavior uses reflection to return a new instance of the exact same
+ * class it is called from. That is you extend RecursiveFilterIterator and
+ * getChildren() will create instance of that class. The problem is that doing
+ * this does not transport any state or control information of your accept()
+ * implementation to the new instance. To overcome this problem you might 
+ * need to overwrite getChildren(), call this implementation and pass the
+ * control vaules manually.
