I don’t think “singleton” is the correct term for the concept that Axel is trying to describe. A “singleton” is normally an kind of object for which there is only a single instances. There may be many instances of, for example %ArrayIterator%, so it isn’t correct to call %ArrayIterator% a singleton What Axel is describing might be characterized as “self iterable”, it returns itself when recieving a Symbol.iterator request.
