Agreed, it is different.

I would suggest that it is different in the same way that the following
valid Python statements are different:

    for string in 'hello': print string
    for string in 'hello',: print string

One needs to understand that "spam," is not the same as "spam" in the
context of a for-loop regardless of whether or not types.IntType has an
iterator.
