This function has a somewhat confused behavior that is not properly
described by the documentation.
Sometimes is returns the previous object, sometimes it returns the
next one.
Sometimes it changes the iterator, sometimes it doesn't.
This function is not currently used and is not worth keeping, so
remove it.
