[Python-Dev] Breaking off Enhanced Iterators PEP from PEP 340

I don't think it's necessary to separate this out into a separate PEP;
that just seems busy-work. I agree these parts are orthogonal and
uncontroversial; a counter-PEP can suffice by stating that it's not
countering those items nor repeating them.
