public class SingleContainer<T>
extends java.lang.Object

Helper class that stores a single element. The caller may add a new element only when the container is empty and the caller may take the contained element if there is one. Use the isEmpty() to check for the status The add and take methods might throw IllegalStateException, which should indicate a library bug. Typically used by the Interactive methods to help them conform with the Iterable contract, e.g., hasNext() is idempotent, but next() might be called without hasNext() to be called at all. The container is not thread-safe.
