      use an iterator (as opposed to a sequence) in a for loop.
  
+     Discussion: should the next() method be renamed to __next__()?
+     Every other method corresponding to a tp_<something> slot has a
+     special name.  On the other hand, this would suggest that there
+     should also be a primitive operation next(x) that would call
+     x.__next__(), and this just looks like adding complexity without
+     benefit.  So I think it's better to stick with next().
