This doesn't ring a bell.  I don't even recall *seeing* a msg from you in the
.xreadlines() vs map() thread ...

I'm not keen to eradicate map() from the face of the Earth regardless, and
until it *is* deprecated (if ever), it's supported.  But this is all moot
since I already checked in the map() fix.

How to deal with the iterator docs is still an important issue.
