a populator behaves like an iterator. 
.PP
Hence the operator* it returns the current individual -- eventually getting a new one through the operator++ if at the end

can be useful for operators with embedded selectors e.g.

Get the offspring population.

Can be useful when you want to do some online niching kind of thing
