FWIW, I'm +1 on this.  Enhanced Iterators
 * updates the iterator protocol to use .__next__() instead of .next()
 * introduces a new builtin next()
 * allows continue-statements to pass values to iterators
 * allows generators to receive values with a yield-expression
The first two are, I believe, how the iterator protocol probably
should have been in the first place.  The second two provide a simple
way of passing values to generators, something I got the impression
that the co-routiney people would like a lot.
