This is only for iterating over sequences, just like W_SeqIterObject.

Yes, you need a special iterator class like W_DictIter_Keys.

BTW, W_SetObject.data, which is an r_dict, should ideally have 'None' as
keys instead of space.w_True.  This would make the low-level translated
code more memory-efficient, by using 'void' values instead of pointers
to space.w_True.


A bientot,

Armin.
