Provides a simple adapter to make generators rewindable. Please beware that you can do the same by using PHPs native CachingIterator.

Unfortunately, you cannot do this:

$generator = $myGeneratorFunction();
iterator_to_array($generator);
iterator_to_array($generator); // boom!

Or this:

$generator = $myGeneratorFunction();
$generator->next();
$generator->rewind(); // boom!

Both result in an Exception, as proven by the tests in tests/GeneratorTest.php. This library provides a simple class that takes a generator function (the function, not its return value) and adapts it to a rewindable Iterator.

$generator = new RewindableGenerator($myGeneratorFunction);
iterator_to_array($generator);
iterator_to_array($generator); // works as expected
$generator->rewind(); // works as expected
