[New-bugs-announce] [issue22918] Doc for __iter__ makes inexact comment about dict.__iter__

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo:

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel#object.__iter__

> This method should return a new iterator object that can iterate over all the objects
> in the container. For mappings, it should iterate over the keys of the container, and
> should also be made available as the method keys().

In 3.x, d.__iter__() is not equivalent to d.keys() but to iter(d.keys()).
