Maybe we could have a standard module in the library that supplies such "utility" iterators and generators? That avoids adding builtin functions but still provides beginners a good sample of the things they can use iterators and generators for. (If it was a separate module, it might not be hard for somebody to supply a version compatible with 2.2, easing migration and cross-version use).

Yup, that's much less of a problem IMO.
