/**
 * @def EINA_ACCESSOR_FOREACH
 * @brief Macro to iterate over all elements easily.
 *
 * @param accessor The accessor to use.
 * @param counter A counter used by eina_accessor_data_get() when
 * iterating over the container.
 * @param data Where to store * data, must be a pointer support getting
 * its address since * eina_accessor_data_get() requires a pointer to
 * pointer!
 *
 * This macro allows a convenient way to loop over all elements in an
 * accessor, very similar to EINA_LIST_FOREACH().
 *
 * This macro can be used for freeing the data of a list, like in the
 * following example. It has the same goal as the one documented in
 * EINA_LIST_FOREACH(), but using accessors:
 *
 * @code
 * Eina_List     *list;
 * Eina_Accessor *accessor;
 * unsigned int   i;
 * char          *data;
 *
 * // list is already filled,
 * // its elements are just duplicated strings
 *
 * accessor = eina_list_accessor_new(list);
 * EINA_ACCESSOR_FOREACH(accessor, i, data)
 *   free(data);
 * eina_accessor_free(accessor);
 * eina_list_free(list);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @note if the datatype provides both iterators and accessors prefer
 *    to use iterators to iterate over, as they're likely to be more
 *    optimized for such task.
 *
 * @note this example is not optimal algorithm to release a list since
 *    it will walk the list twice, but it serves as an example. For
 *    optimized version use EINA_LIST_FREE()
 *
 * @warning unless explicitly stated in functions returning accessors,
 *    do not modify the accessed object while you walk it, in this
 *    example using lists, do not remove list nodes or you might
 *    crash!  This is not a limitiation of accessors themselves,
 *    rather in the accessors implementations to keep them as simple
 *    and fast as possible.
