Since we don't expect an iterator to return the same bit twice when
iterating in any case, the ideal would be that it shouldn't matter what
happens to bits that the iterator has already passed.

That would be an ecumenical matter! Err, I mean ... maybe the best solution
(particularly in terms of preventing future bugs) would be for opening an
iterator to put the bitmap into a read-only mode that causes bitmap_clear_bit
or bitmap_set_bit to fail, and that automatically clears when the iterator
runs off the end?
