Indeed, I don't foresee any place where it would help apart from the __repr__ of the iterators, which is precisely what I'm aiming at. The alternative here would be a kind of "smart" global function that knows about many built-in iterator types and is able to fish for the data inside automatically (but this hits problems of data structures being private). I thought that __getitem_cue__ would be a less dirty solution. I really think a better __repr__ would be generally helpful, and I cannot think of a 3rd solution at the moment... (Ideas welcome!)
