--[[ Iterators ]]--

-- Reverse an iterator

	while true do
		local ret = { f(s, var) };
		var = ret[1];

		table.insert(results, 1, ret);

	-- Then return our reverse one
	local i,max = 0, #results;
	return function (results)
			if i<max then
				i = i + 1;
				return unpack(results[i]);
			end
		end, results;

-- Iterate only over keys in a table
local function _keys_it(t, key)
	return (next(t, key));

-- Iterate only over values in a table
function values(t)
