 * @class   vtkPVProxyDefinitionIterator
 * @brief   iterates over all proxy definitions
 * from which the vtkSMProxyManager can use to create new proxy.
 * It can also iterate over registered compound proxy definitions.
 *
 * vtkPVProxyDefinitionIterator iterates over all proxy definitions known to
 * the proxy manager. The iterator allow to filter the iteration on a
 * subset of group and/or on the global or custom proxies.
 * Custom and Compound proxy are exactly the same thing. We should stick with
 * only one name.
