+P1 -right-> P2: {next, Pid}\n{tuple, T} | done
+P2 -right-> P3: {next, Pid}\n{tuple, T} | done
+P3 -right-> P4: {next, Pid}\n{tuple, T} | done
+P4 -right-> P5: {next, Pid}\n{tuple, T} | done
+
+note bottom of P1
+  Each iterator is an
+  independent Erlang process
+
+  Message passing protocol:
+  - Request: {next, CallerPid}
+  - Response: {tuple, Data} | done
+
+  Benefits:
+  - Lazy evaluation
+  - Memory-bounded
+  - Composable
+  - Concurrent
