Thank you! This is what I will use. "Construction" in programming has the strong connotation of returning a new object (even though, say, int("1") may return an interned object, so not new in a sense). I'm not sure whether I'll rely on that looseness in describing the "iterator constructed from an iterator" or (more likely) treat iterators as a special case, and put "construction" in scare quotes if the connotation that an object is, or might be, an iterator is strong. Comments?[1] Steve Footnotes: [1] Please don't bother telling me not to use scare quotes that way because many people are EASL or not well-educated. That is a hill I'm willing to die on. ;-) Scare quotes a FAQ in my EASL classes (not just because I use them), so learning to read them is a real need IME.
