Umm. That wasn't what I objected to.
I objected to the incredibly ugly implementation, the crazy new flags
arguments for core helper functions, ugly naming etc etc. I even
outlined what might fix it.
In other words, I thought the code was shit and ugly. Not that
iterators per se would be wrong. Just doing them badly is wrong.
So don't go putting words in my mouth. It isn't "unfortunate" at all
that I have higher quality standards.
