New submission from Ram Rachum:

`iter` has a very cool `sentinel` argument. I suggest an additional argument
`exception`; when it's supplied, instead of waiting for a sentinel value, we
wait for a sentinel exception to be raised, and then the iteration is finished.
This'll be useful to construct things like this:
my_iterator = iter(my_deque.popleft, exception=IndexError)
I also suggest being able to pass multiple exceptions in a tuple to have any of
them trigger a `StopIteration`.
