That's not too pythonic, and trying to support non-pythonic code while evolving the language is a dead-end street.
Out of curiosity, what explicit uses of next are pythonic?
The web documents pythonic ways to obtain pairs from an iterable:
def pairs(x): i = iter(x) return zip(i, i)
Or even:
def pairs(x): return zip(*[iter(x)]*2)
See, both of those seem way too implicit to me.
