I like this too. For iterators, though, would you always show the next couple of elements? The values "contained in" the iterator will change as the iterator iterates. Alternatively, the representation could be "frozen" to reflect the values originally pending in the iterator, but then the representation wouldn't show anything about the current state of the iterator.
