Thanks Denis, I found out about the iter builtin last night, a few hours
after I'd coded/posted that. Oops. Thanks for your other comments, I am
clearer now about the distinction of creating a new, empty list vs.
clearing the same list out, and the subsequent implications on other

While iter is a built-in function, it would be clearer if you

I'm afraid I've lost the context, and don't understand why this is
