Description:
------------
RecursiveIteratorIterator fails to Recurse into class implementing iteratorAggregate and returning RecursiveArrayIterator on private data. See test script.

Test script:
---------------
class X implements IteratorAggregate {
  private $data = ['X', 'X', 'X'];
  # public $data = ['X', 'X', 'X'];
  
  public function __construct($data = null) {
    $this->data = isset($data) ? $data : $this->data;
  }
  
  public function getIterator() {
    return new RecursiveArrayIterator($this->data);
  }
}

$x = new X([1, 2, new X(), 5]);
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($x);
foreach($it as $v) {
  var_dump($v);
}

Expected result:
----------------
Expecting no difference between public and private data. RecursiveArrayIterator should make a copy of the private data on construction.

Hmm, just realised it's probably more likely RecursiveIteratorIterator is treating the object in the array [1,2, new X(), 5] as an object and iterating its public fields. Investigating.

Confirmed. In example data `[1, 2, new X(), 5]`, the getIterator() method of the X instance is never called.

As you already noticed yourself, RecursiveArrayIterator (despite the "array" in the name) also iterates over object properties. As such, the observed behavior is "expected". You can specify the CHILD_ARRAYS_ONLY flag to not iterate public properties, but in that case the object will not recurse at all. There is no option to recurse based on getIterator().
