+"""Backtrader LineIterator Module.
+
+This module provides the LineIterator class which is the base for all
+objects that iterate over data in a time-series manner. This includes
+Indicators, Observers, Strategies, and other line-based objects.
+
+The LineIterator manages:
+1. Data feeds and their access patterns
+2. Minimum period calculations
+3. Execution phases (prenext, nextstart, next)
+4. Clock synchronization between multiple data feeds
+5. Registration of child lineiterators (indicators, observers)
