What bad thing could happen if we make iter() work? If nothing, we
should ask ourselves: which is the more intuitive behaviour to expect
of iter()? To raise an exception or to return an empty iterator?
I'm +0 for the latter.
-1. I'm a heavy user of iterators on finite and infinite streams and, for me, iter() is an error that I do not want to paper over. The alternate logic implies, e.g
., len() should return 0.
