Following on from this, the iterator types weren't dropped, but
iteritems, iterkeys, itervalues were removed from the mapping API.
iter(d.items()) returns an item iterator similar to the old
d.iteritems(), but the name was corrected from the weird 'dictionary-'
prefix to simply 'dict_'. Also, even though it's instantiated by a
view, the 3.x iterator references the dict directly, not the view.
