  A support function to test hasNext for standard python iterators.
  usage, assuming it is already created (eg it=iter([1,2,3]):
   nx, it = hasNext(it)
   
   After the call, nx will be True iff it has a next value.
   The new it will be in original state (we have to damage the original iterator)
