Ooooh, this is so *almost* what I want. Can't we please, please have a next
tagmethod to go with it? It would be soooo simple... (Yes, I know I can
write for k, v in metatable(object).next do ..., but that means that I need
to either write that always or know whether or not object is a regular
table; that is not good for code maintainability.)
