R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Exhaustion of the iterator is easily solved by simply retaining a reference to it and iterating that (which is what I had in mind). However, I had not thought about the problem of an *in*exhaustable iterator, and to cover that case len is indeed better.
