I wouldn't recommend it.  What happens if you store it and the thing it
points to gets deleted? or moved? I *THINK* that at that point the iterator
becomes invalid, but even if it doesnt and you use it, you will not be
pointing at what you expect to be pointing at.

I agree with you though, the documentation is not very clear when it
introduces phrases like "... some models ...".  To me this sounds like they
mean, "...depending on how the model is implemented..." - I could be wrong.
