Definitely!

But I found it easy to write my own -

async def anext(aiter):
    return await aiter.__anext__()

I am not familiar with your terminology here, so my comment may be way 
off-track.

I use 'bulk iteration' a lot in my app. It is a client/server multi-user 
business/accounting app.

If a user wants to view the contents of a large table, or I want to print 
statements for a lot of customers,  I can request the data and process it as 
it arrives, without blocking the other users.

I find that very powerful.
