"Reiterable" seems to cause vocabulary confusion regularly on this list.
What kind of confusion?
Someone accidentally says iterable when they mean reiterable, and then there's a handful of emails pointing that out and arguing about what the right word should be to describe something (like range) that can be iterated over more than once, but isn't necessarily a sequence, set, or mapping.
