Right, I guess an unstated motivation for my doubts were that for non-lists you're not really guaranteed an order for iteration. I guess that doesn't necessarily make a bounded iterator entirely useless, but I would tend to think that it would reduce its utility. And if you want to treat a non-list collection or map as if it were a list, there are ways to do that, too.
