/// An iterator able to yield elements from both ends.
///
/// Something that implements `DoubleEndedIterator` has one extra capability
/// over something that implements [`Iterator`]: the ability to also take
/// `Item`s from the back, as well as the front.
///
/// It is important to note that both back and forth work on the same range,
/// and do not cross: iteration is over when they meet in the middle.
///
/// In a similar fashion to the [`Iterator`] protocol, once a
/// `DoubleEndedIterator` returns [`None`] from a [`next_back()`], calling it
/// again may or may not ever return [`Some`] again. [`next()`] and
/// [`next_back()`] are interchangeable for this purpose.
///
/// [`next_back()`]: DoubleEndedIterator::next_back
/// [`next()`]: Iterator::next
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
///
/// ```
/// let numbers = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
///
/// let mut iter = numbers.iter();
///
/// assert_eq!(Some(&1), iter.next());
/// assert_eq!(Some(&6), iter.next_back());
/// assert_eq!(Some(&5), iter.next_back());
