 the current element from the collection on the next call to `cxIteratorNext()`.
 If you are implementing your own iterator, it is up to you to implement this behavior.
 
-## Passing Iterators to Functions
-
-To eliminate the need of memory management for iterators, the structures are usually passed by value.
-However, sometimes it is necessary to pass an iterator to another function.
-
-To make that possible in a generalized way, such functions should accept a `CxIteratorBase*` pointer
-which can be obtained with the `cxIteratorRef()` macro on the calling site.
-
-In the following example, elements from a list are inserted into a tree:
-
-```C
-CxList *list = // ...
-CxTree *tree = // ...
-
-CxIterator iter = cxListIterator(list);
-cxTreeInsertIter(tree, cxIteratorRef(iter), cxListSize(list));
-```
-
-> This is the reason why `CX_ITERATOR_BASE` must be the first member of any iterator structure.
-> Otherwise, the address taken by `cxIteratorRef()` would not equal the address of the iterator.

 ## Custom Iterators
 
 The base structure is defined as follows:
