// .NAME vtkInformationIterator - Iterates over keys of an information object
// .SECTION Description
// vtkInformationIterator can be used to iterate over the keys of an
// information object. The corresponding values can then be directly
// obtained from the information object using the keys.
//
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkInformation vtkInformationKey
