[New-bugs-announce] [issue45250] Make sure documentation is accurate for what an (async) iterable and (async) iterator are

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

There's some inaccuracies when it comes to iterable and iterators (async and not). See https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/3W7TDX5KNVQVGT5CUHBK33M7VNTP25DZ/#3W7TDX5KNVQVGT5CUHBK33M7VNTP25DZ for background.

Should probably check:

1. The glossary.
2. Language reference.
3. Built-ins.

This applies to iter()/__iter__/iterable, next()/__next__/iterator, and their async equivalents.
