[Python-iterators] PEP 234: Iterators (fwd)

[Guido van Rossum]

> This proposal seems to introduce rather *contradictory* semantics for

This is addressed in the Open Issues section of the PEP.  Personally,
I don't see enough similarities between the index set of a list and
the keys of a dictionary to try to treat them the same, so the
argument carries little value for me.
