iterator argument and will return the largest or smallest element. The ``"in"``

and ``"not in"`` operators also support iterators: ``X in iterator`` is true if

X is found in the stream returned by the iterator. You'll run into obvious

problems if the iterator is infinite; ``max()``, ``min()``, and ``"not in"``

problems if the iterator is infinite; ``max()``, ``min()``

will never return, and if the element X never appears in the stream, the

``"in"`` operator won't return either.

``"in"`` and ``"not in"`` operators won't return either.

Note that you can only go forward in an iterator; there's no way to get the

previous element, reset the iterator, or make a copy of it. Iterator objects
