I can see a use for using iterators in a for loop, however they should be declared with some keyword.

Something like

type
  TListIterator = iterator(TList, init_func, next_func, check_func)
    function init_func: Boolean;
    function next_func: <element type>
    function check_func: Boolean;
  end;

begin
  for element in list using TListIterator do...

IMO this is more pascal than using some interface or predefined function names.
Good idea. What is iterator internally? Is this an object with the special header?

Is it internall the same as:
TListIterator = object
 function init_func(AList: TList): Boolean;
 function next_func: Pointer;
 function check_func: Boolean;
end;

But where is current state of iterator.
next_func need to know old state and then easy move to next, but were state is saved.



second solution receive old result, find it in collection, decode past state and compute next, but it hurt performance
