 /**
	IntIterator is used for implementing interval iterations.
	
	It is usually not used explicitly, but through it's special syntax:
		min...max
		
	While it is possible to assign an instance of IntIterator to a variable or
	field, it is worth noting that IntIterator does not reset after being used
	in a for-loop. Subsequent uses of the same instance will then have no
	effect.

		Iterates from `min` (inclusive) to `max` (exclusive).
		
		If `max <= min`, the iterator will not act as a countdown.

		Returns true if the iterator has other items, false otherwise.
