/**
 * 341. Flatten Nested List Iterator
 *
 * Given a nested list of integers, implement an iterator to flatten it.

 Each element is either an integer, or a list -- whose elements may also be integers or other lists.

 Example 1:
 Given the list [[1,1],2,[1,1]],

 By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false, the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,1,2,1,1].

 Example 2:
 Given the list [1,[4,[6]]],

 By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false, the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,4,6].
