 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"``

 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
