Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound that way. I was just
making reference to a concept elucidated elsewhere --
invoking an "argument pattern", so to speak.-)

What I'm saying is that, because the object returned
by iter() not only has a different interface but a
different *function*, it doesn't seem to fit the notion
implied to me by "adaptation". And that to stretch the
definition of adaptation to include it would be to
make the term so broad it would lose much of its
usefulness.
