> I expect the {{TakeIterator}} to only call the {{hasNext()}} method for the delegate a maximum of {{N}} times where {{N}} is the number of elements to take.  If the iterator represents some expensive operations, or an unexhausted infinite stream that has exactly {{N}} elements available, the {{TakeIterator}} will block waiting for the {{Nth+1}} element only to return {{N}} of them.
> In short, change the {{TakeIterator}}'s {{hasNext}} function from
>             {{return delegate.hasNext() && num > 0;}}
> to
>             {{return num > 0 && delegate.hasNext();}}
