RFE: java.util.Stack.iterator() iterates the wrong way

The iterator method on java.util.Stack iterates through a Stack from the bottom
up. One would think that it should iterate as if it were popping off the top of
the Stack.

% cat test.java
import java.util.*;

class test {
    public static void main(String[] strs) {
        Stack s = new Stack();
        s.add("one");
        s.add("two");
        s.add("three");
        s.add("four");
        System.err.println(s);
        Iterator i = s.iterator();
        while(i.hasNext()) {
            System.err.println(i.next());
        }
    }
}
