FWIW, I did a similar approach for iters as well. And I suspect it's
not the only place where we do similar things while processing helper
arguments, etc.

Let's keep this in mind, but I wouldn't necessarily go complicating
code right now with more of "let's record some info for later" and
then "ok, we recorded something before, let's act on it".
