I don't like this. It gives a set object a hidden state, something that AFAICS no other builtin has. Iterating over an iterable is what iterators are for.
It also makes the object thread-unsafe; there's no way for two threads to iterate over it at the same time. It's a terrible idea to introduce new things that won't work under threaded usage. --amk
