Description

This concept was introduced in CASSANDRA-13482, and while it logically resolves the bug, the “more correct” solution is to attach the functions of the extending iterator to the iterator they are being absorbed into.  CASSANDRA-13482 introduced a slight error in its evaluation of exit conditions that cropped up in CASSANDRA-14812, that could be avoided with this formulation.
