And they should do so even less when there is no gain doing so either, right? The TAB key on the keyboard is one of my favorite keys and I often do iteration with that and the so-called backtab which is S-TAB. See this for ERC which is cool if I may, don't know if they liked it enough or what happened ... https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/erc/erc-iterate.el Note that it doesn't iterate the same things!
