Yes, I think the sensible thing to do, now, is fixing current mainline
algorithms to work uniformly with such kind of iterator (or anything
Howard comes up with and we consider representative of user needs).

Then, in a *second* step, when we all agree it's a sensible move (I'm in
favor, to be clear) simplifying the mainline algorithms using the new,
more sophisticated approach.

Anything else seems stupid to me.
