obj is iter(obj)
Is that a hard and fast rule?
Yes, it is.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#iterator-types
The docs aren't very clear on this point. They claim this is necessary
so that the iterator can be used in a for-loop, but that's obviously
not strictly true, since a proxy object could also be used.
They also make no mention about whether one should be able to rely
on this as a definitive test of iterator-ness.
In any case, I don't claim that my MapView implements the full
iterator protocol, only enough of it to pass for an iterator in
most likely scenarios that assume one.
