Yuck. I don't like any of this "for x in y.iterator_something()"
stuff. The things you're after aren't "in" the iterator, they're
"in" the dict. I don't want to know that there are iterators
involved.

We seem to be coming up with more and more convoluted ways
to say things that should be very straightforward.
