/**
 * A simple wrapper that provides an Iterable implementation that wraps
 * a collection and returns a RandomOrderIterator when asked for an iterator.
 * 
 * No result set can have more than one Iterable wrapper around it at a time.
 * However, it is impossible for this object to know implicitly when it is 
 * no longer required (to free the reference).  Therefore, when this 
 * wrapper is concluded, it should be disposed of via the dispose() method.
