Other example I once really wanted was generator iterators on
PangoLayoutIter such as lines(), clusters(), ... so I can do:

i = layout.get_iter()
for line in i.lines():
	print line

But then the iterator object becomes redundant, so maybe add lines() on
the layout itself:

for line in layout.lines():
	print line
