You are perfectly right, of course. I think I was mislead by my 
secret hope that "function" will become a built-in in the future,
so that we may derive from it our custom functions. I would feel
that possibility somewhat more elegant than the current approach
(i.e. using callable objects). But it is just me, I also would prefer
an iterator base class over the iterator protocol we have now. It is
more of a little wish than a real necessity, anyway.
