 * <p>For example, to test {@link java.util.Collections#unmodifiableList(java.util.List)
 * Collections.unmodifiableList}'s iterator:
 *
 * {@snippet :
 * List<String> expectedElements =
 *     Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");

   * fallback}, an exception is thrown, this exception is used as the result of the output {@code

 *
 * {@snippet :
 * Stopwatch stopwatch = Stopwatch.createStarted();

 * stopwatch.stop(); // optional
 *
 * Duration duration = stopwatch.elapsed();
