ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2, got 3)
I don't know if that would have done the trick for me on this
particular one. On the other hand, adding "expected X, got Y"
to the message would generally be a good thing.
given the nature of the message, and the interaction with
iterators-of-arbitrary/infinite length, it might have to be
reduced to
"Expected N, got more"
or for the case where you didn't get enough, you know how many
you got: "Expected N, but only got M". But the extra information
would certainly be useful in tracking it down.
