I've been playing with with rangefunc experiment, with help from 
https://go.dev/wiki/RangefuncExperiment and the possible idioms that might come 
out of it (https://blog.perfects.engineering/go_range_over_funcs is a good 
read).

One somewhat eccentric use of nested iterators I built in the past in python 
was turning an SQL widerows or domain aggregate result into a set of nested 
objects, so one could use the results in something like the following way:

    for p in people:
        for c in p.cars:
            for t in c.tickets:
                print("person {} in car {} got ticket {}", p, c, t)

While I was able to get a very janky version of this type of behaviour with 
https://go.dev/play/p/gFUcKNSrbMV?v=gotip this only has an iterator on the left 
hand side and series of nested structs through slices. My attempts to use more 
iterators (for cars and tickets) fails as these of course stop after the first 
set of cars and tickets respectively have been yielded.

I realise this is a contrived example, but I wonder if there might be more 
general cases where iterators could be stopped and restarted. (The docs to 
iter.Pull suggest next() and stop() are non-resettable also.) Perhaps there 
could be hidden new iter.Seq constructors in the container for when the cars 
and tickets iterators are exhausted...hmm...

I'd be grateful for any thoughts about this casual and hypothetical case, 
although I guess it could be helpful for something like retrieving nested data 
from an sql cursor efficiently.

That code above turns:

    a a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 c1 c2 c3
    a a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 c4 c5 c6
    a a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 c7 c8 c9
    a a1 a2 b4 b5 b6 c10 c11 c12
    d d1 d2 e1 e2 e3 f1 f2 f3
    d d1 d2 e1 e2 e3 f4 f5 f6
    g g1 g2 h1 h2 h3 i1 i2 i3

into:

    [a a1 a2]
    >  [b1 b2 b3]
    > >  [c1 c2 c3]
    > >  [c4 c5 c6]
    > >  [c7 c8 c9]
    >  [b4 b5 b6]
    > >  [c10 c11 c12]
    [d d1 d2]
    >  [e1 e2 e3]
    > >  [f1 f2 f3]
    > >  [f4 f5 f6]
    [g g1 g2]
    >  [h1 h2 h3]
    > >  [i1 i2 i3]

called like this:

        for a := range collection.Iter() { // iter.Seq
                fmt.Println(a.r)
                for _, b := range a.s {        // slice -- could be iter.Seq?
                        fmt.Println("> ", b.r)
                        for _, c := range b.s {    // slice -- could be 
iter.Seq?
                                fmt.Println("> > ", c.r)
                        }
                }
        }
