The 'obvious' way is not something I'd consider. The 'concise' way works
today, provided iterator function returns a slice or a map.
I'd probably write something like
for item := someSetup(selector); item.Next(); {
DoSomethingWith(item)
}
Item type can be whatever is needed, like `struct{i, v int}` or something
much more complex. I don't think that this calls for a language change.
