What about the reset() method in the iterator: should it have an exception
if the iterator cannot be reset (which may be quite common if you provide
a list of objects from some underlying stream), or we just document that
such situation should use CORBA::NO_IMPLEMENT?
Btw, the current other LSR specifications use the latter approach, I
would probably feel cleaner to have there an explicit exception. But no
strong opinion.
