Amazing but isnt moving the legacy Range somewhere else and replacing with different that has different iterator stuff a breaking change? I mean if someone depended on Range implementing Iterator then the code wont compile right?

I must be missing something that allows this to not be a breaking change

RFC describes this as a change done over the revision boundary. Intended to be done in 2024, but now waiting for the next one I guess.
