That's exactly right. The only way for the interpreter to handle
'in' on an iterator is something like this:
def contains(iter, obj):
for val in iter:
if val == obj: return True
return False
Which can nicely be written as
any(i == obj for obj in iter)
Indeed it can, although I'm not sure whether it'd just have been
another step in the explanation :) Whether or not that makes perfect
sense depends on the reader.
