Looks good. I see that you added real hash-table and package iterators.

The only thing missing is a test suite. I don't suppose that you found
the test file (TEST-ITER.LISP) that's referred to in the debugging code?
I like ITERATE a lot and I think it's well written, but I would have more
confidence in it if I knew that there were some test suite that verified
the correctness of all features. (No, I'm not volunteering.)

Does anybody know what happened to Jonathan Amsterdam, by the way?
He seems to have disappeared from the Lisp world.
