Maybe we could have a standard module in the library that
supplies such "utility" iterators and generators?  That avoids
adding builtin functions but still provides beginners a good
sample of the things they can use iterators and generators for.
(If it was a separate module, it might not be hard for somebody
to supply a version compatible with 2.2, easing migration and
cross-version use).
