Why don't we expose _PySet_Next() for Barry and leave it out of the public API for everyone else.

There are precedents for adding some functionality to the C API but not documenting it to ensure "non advanced users" don't get hurt -- that's how we added the ability to raise exceptions in different threads, in particular. Not sure if this is the best solution here, but I'm just pointing out that it's definitely not "unthinkable", procedurally speaking.
Thank would be nice. It gives me the ability to keep a clean, sane API while at the same time making sure that my most important customer (Barry) gets his needs met. Raymond
