I do. Since the caller is asking for an arbitrary element, returning the same
element is legitimate. It's funny how people seem to have a problem with the
word "arbitrary" :)

And I'm -1 on any implicit iteration attaching some state to the object. If you
want to iterate, there's already an obvious way to it.
