Hi Chris,

I'm not entirely sure I agree about adding this kind of information to
the docs.  Perhaps I'm missing something, but this seems more like a
programming error than a pygr error!  Modifying the object you're
looping over is never safe in Python unless it explicitly says it is,
and since pygr is wrapping other Python objects, the behavior depends on
the behavior of the wrapped objects.  While this may be confusing, I
don't think a specific warning is needed unless there's more to this
than I realize.

I do feel strongly about keeping the docs as lean as possible,
containing primarily the absolutely critical information that you need
to know in order to use a particular API, and then some linear tutorials
that go into more depth and explain technical details and choices that
need to be made.

cheers,
