+ * Convenient enumeration over an array of enumeration. For example:
+ * <pre>
+ * Enumeration e1 = v1.elements();
+ * while (e1.hasMoreElements()){
+ *    // do something
+ * }
+ * Enumeration e2 = v2.elements();
+ * while (e2.hasMoreElements()){
+ *    // do the same thing
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * can be written as:
+ * <pre>
+ * Enumeration[] enums = { v1.elements(), v2.elements() };
+ * Enumeration e = Enumerations.fromCompound(enums);
+ * while (e.hasMoreElements()){
+ *    // do something
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * Note that the enumeration will skip null elements in the array. The following is
+ * thus possible:
+ * <pre>
+ * Enumeration[] enums = { v1.elements(), null, v2.elements() }; // a null enumeration in the array
+ * Enumeration e = Enumerations.fromCompound(enums);
+ * while (e.hasMoreElements()){
+ *    // do something
+ * }
+ * </pre>
