Description:
------------
In order to use a new CachingIterator of RecursiveCachingIterator, one needs to do a rewind() or next() to get current() pointing to the first element. This is unlike the other Iterators.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$arr = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$it = new CachingIterator(new ArrayIterator($arr));
var_dump($it->current()); echo PHP_EOL;
$it->next();
var_dump($it->current()); echo PHP_EOL;

Expected result:
----------------
int 1
int 2


Actual result:
--------------
null
int 1

Note that one get get the expected behaviour from the implementation in ext\spl\internal\cachingiterator.inc after correcting the following bugs in that file:

add private $flags as class member
on line 50 change flags into $flags
on line 50 delete CIT_ prefix

That looks like #44063

Might be the case indeed. I wanted to add a comment over there, but I am not allowed to. So here:

> How could you say this is not a bug? Please reconsider!
> There is one invariant which says: ?the pointer in all new iterators points at the first element of the collection that has to be iterated.?
>
> Hence a new iterator a that wraps another new iterator b points to the first element of b.

I am very happy with and grateful for the SPL contribution to php. I really hope the behaviour from all iterators from the iterator zoo will be consistent. I think these bugs are certainly no bogus. It's a contract violation and that's painful to me.

Marcus, deal with this.

Indeed, basically that's the same issue as reported in bug #44063:
the constructor misses to properly initialize the OuterIterator.
