discarded iterator.next() at interactive global scope doesn't bump interator??

Indeed: 

>>> for i in range(5):
...     42
...
42
42
42
42
42

Whereas:

>>> for i in range(5):
...     None
>>>

Every line with an expression that doesn't evaluate to None is echoed.
Therefore

it.next()

and

print it.next()

look the same when repr(it.next()) == str(it.next()).

No bug :-)
