* Treat an {@link Enumeration} as an {@link Iterable} so it can be used in an enhanced for-loop.
* Bear in mind that the enumeration is "consumed" by the loop and so should be used only once.
* Generally it is best to put the code which obtains the enumeration inside the loop header.
* <div class="nonnormative">
* <p>Example of correct usage:</p>
* <pre>
* ClassLoader loader = ...;
* String name = ...;
* for (URL resource : NbCollections.iterable(loader.{@link ClassLoader#getResources getResources}(name))) {
* // ...
* }
* </pre>

* @param enumeration an enumeration
* @return an iterable wrapper which will traverse the enumeration once
* ({@link Iterator#remove} is not supported)
* @throws NullPointerException if the enumeration is null
