I wouldn't mind seeing one of the early ideas from PEP 340 being resurrected some day, such that the signature for the special method was "next(self, input)" and for the builtin "next(iterator, input=None)"

That would go hand in hand with the idea of allowing the continue statement to accept an argument though.

Yup. The continue thing we might add in 2.6. The next API in 3.0.
