This was proposed on the list.  It turned out to be
easy to implement the basic feature (iter() only calls
__iter__ and doesn't fall back on __getitem__) but a
disaster to use -- even after extensive fixes to the
sre compiler and smaller fixes to half a dozen other
modules, 120 tests were failing.  I'm saving the diffs
here for posterity.
