  Sure I know you did this, otherwise I think I'd call you criminal. ;-)
  
  More seriously, I find the test suite of kconfig_compiler unfortunately very slim on error cases (as in XML with crap in them) so that's why we should try to keep in mind "creative" users during reviews. As a corollary, the absence of failing tests doesn't mean the absence of bugs being introduced.
  As I'm trying to highlight in my comment below, I think that in that particular case moving away from iterators introduce a regression in behavior and information provided to the user in case of bogus data.

Well, there's a difference between generating malformed code and generating well formed code which doesn't compile for grammar reasons.

Previously it wouldn't compile with a proper error (two parameters with the same name) now it would in most case give a totally unrelated error since the tokenizer would go haywire.
