People making smart points are really annoying... !-)

wrt/ to the "subtle bug" point, MHO is that a better solution could be 
to have iterators/generators implement __nonzero__ the same way numpy 
arrays do. It may not be a very strong argument, but I actually like the 
fact that empty sequences eval to false just like numeric zeros and None...
