If we must have aiter, then we may as well also have anext; besides being more consistent, it also allows an object to be both a normol iterator and an asynch iterator.

And this is a good point too. I'm not convinced that allowing an object to be both a normal and an async iterator is a good thing. It could be a recipe for confusion. I doubt that it will be a popular thing. But disallowing this by merging two different protocols in one isn't a good idea either.

I having been arguing for merging two different protocols. I'm saying that allowing an object to be both normal and async iterable is not an argument for having separate protocols because it's not a good thing.
