But that can't be - the type name ought to be an identifier, so it can't
have spaces. It might be possible to create deliberately confusing error
messages, though, such as
py> class your:pass
...
py> next(your())
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: your object is not an iterator
