I like this version. The naming seems an improvement and the
default_adapter seems like a worthy addition. I do keep wondering if
there's some reason for a user of Protocol to call candidate_keys
directly or it's only an implementation detail. If the there is such a
reason, and we could figure it out, it would probably immediately
obvious what to call it. If there isn't, perhaps it should be prefixed
with '_' to indicate that it's not part of the public interface.

These should all be "GenericIter.register_for", right?
