I think this would actually have a smaller impact on the code base and 
would be clean to implement. The main question I see would be naming 
considerations - in the case of interfaces a solution has already been 
implemented, but in the case of a simple list there is not the internal 
names to draw on.

What are the main issues you would be concerned with?

Implementing a .next strategy has the problem of adding another special 
case. I think it can be done pretty neatly though.
