I have iterator like objects which dynamically rebind the .next method
in order to different things. When I want a potentially infinite
iterator to stop, I rebind its .next method to another method which
raises StopIteration. This saves lots of messy if/elif state checking
in the .next method, which I _need_ to be very fast.

I use it all the time. Dynamically rebinding methods is a nice way to
change and maintain state between calls.

Silly function call lookup stuff?
