I actually agree with you about iterative, but I hadn't 
considered changing it until I read this. IIRC, I picked the name 
based on the documentation. All three of the listed ranges use 
"Iterates" in the short description. I also included zip in that 
category because it's akin to lockstep, despite the intuition 
that it should be considered compositional.

Anyway, I'm not looking to establish any conventions here, just 
an easy way to describe ranges. This thread has helped a good 
deal.
