Thank you!
This is what I will use. "Construction" in programming has the strong
connotation of returning a new object (even though, say, int("1")
may return an interned object, so not new in a sense).
I'm not sure whether I'll rely on that looseness in describing the
"iterator constructed from an iterator" or (more likely) treat
iterators as a special case, and put "construction" in scare quotes
if the connotation that an object is, or might be, an iterator is
strong.

[1] Please don't bother telling me not to use scare quotes that way
because many people are EASL or not well-educated. That is a hill I'm
willing to die on. ;-) Scare quotes a FAQ in my EASL classes (not just
because I use them), so learning to read them is a real need IME.
