  19. I've been long thinking that iterators could be very handy when
  20. doing quick jobs, whick is what you do at the shell (unless it's
  21. command.com, in which case you don't).  DUEL, which is a C-like
  22. interpreter inspired by Icon and integrated into GDB, proves that
  23. it can be good in interactive use.
  24.  
  25. Does anybody know of or have ideas about a shell that would have
  26. iterators?
