It'd be nice to have a __valid_getitem_requests__ protocol that, if present, yields pairs such that:

for any obj.

OK, I'll bite.  What is this "items()" function you apply to the arbitrary object?

Similar to len(). Just a shitty wrapper for __valid_getitem_requests__.

Language, sunshine.

Do you have a use case for this, or is it just theoretically nice to have? I have to say it isn't nice enough for me to actually want it, and I say that as someone who regularly forgets that iterating over a dict gets you its keys.
