Another nice thing about having a next() built-in is that it makes getting the first item of a generator expression a lot more elegant, IMHO.
I think this: next(item for item in items if item > 3) is a lot clearer than this: (item for item in items if item > 3).next() or alternatives that would break this into multiple statements.
