Title: Renaming iterator.next() to iterator.next() ======================================================

[Josiah]

It sounds and reads just fine, though I'm -1 on the change if only because 1) it adds a builtin, 2) it renames a protocol method, making it potentially difficult and/or buggy to write forward or backward compatible code, 3) it smells like gratuitous breakage.

And, more importantly, it is butt-ugly.
