/// Panics if the control iterator presents an index outside the bounds of the

/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// # use permute::ArbitraryTandemControlIterator;

///     String::from("red"),
///     String::from("orange"),
///     String::from("yellow"),

///     String::from("indigo"),
///     String::from("violet"),
/// ];
///
/// let control = vec![6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1];
///
/// let atci = ArbitraryTandemControlIterator::new(&data, control.clone().into_iter());
///
/// for (atci_val, rev_val) in atci.zip(data.iter().rev()) {
///     // Critically, these are both &std::string::String. No copying occurred.
