given the nature of the message, and the interaction with 
iterators-of-arbitrary/infinite length, it might have to be 
reduced to

   "Expected N, got more"

or for the case where you didn't get enough, you know how many 
you got: "Expected N, but only got M".  But the extra information 
would certainly be useful in tracking it down.
