Make iterators cloneable?

It would be nice to be able to associate each element in a collection
with another element in the collection, which is something very easily
done with index based collections, but with sets, etc this isn't so
easy... unless i'm having a brainfart.
So i'd like to do this, but Iterator doesn't implement Cloneable... Any
reason not to? or is there another way that's missing me?
public class ItClone {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Set<String> s = Collections.newSetFromMap(new
ConcurrentHashMap<String, Boolean>());
s.add("Fee");
s.add("Fi");
s.add("Fo");
s.add("Fum");
Iterator<String> it1 = s.iterator();
while (it1.hasNext()) {
String v1 = it1.next();
Iterator<String> it2 = (Iterator<String>) it1.*clone*();
while (it2.hasNext()) {
String v2 = it2.next();
System.out.println(v1 + " <-->" + v2);
}
}
}
}
