I would like to preface this with "I have no idea what I am talking about." That being said, what about an exception? If you are really trying to get the iter and it isn't initialized, I would think not having th iter would be an exception case. Therefore, I would expect to catch an exception. But I have never used this method/function in C or PHP so I may not understand the context properly.

It's valid that the selection returns no iter -> because nothing is selecting. I wouldn't do catch that .. this doesn't sound like an "exceptional" state to me. - Markus
