    I was thinking it would be cleaner if the contract was : *when an iterator 
sets a yield key that its hasTop() method should start returning false*
    
    I think has the following benefits :
      * No requirement for intermediate iterator (that push the YieldCallback 
down) to check  yield.hasYielded().  I think makes it easier for simple 
iterators to support pushing the YieldCallback down.  If an iterator cares, it 
can still check.
      * May be more efficient to only check `hasTop()` instead of always 
checking `yield.hasYielded()` and `hasTop()`
    
    When `hasTop()` returns false, then the top level loop can check 
`yield.hasYielded()` as it currently does.
