+his module contains a function to return an iterator (see the Iterator 
+module) that returns the rows of a database query, one at a time.
+
+This is marginally more useful than simply calling prepare and execute, 
+and then repeatedly calling fetchrow_hashref; since this one function 
+bundles up the calls to all three of those DBI methods.
+
+But the real usefulness of this interface is that it can be chained 
+together with other Iterator functions. The "idb_rows" iterator has the 
+same interface as any other interface, making it interchangeable with 
+iterators of any other source (for example, files), and usable with the 
+iterator manipulation functions in the Iterator::Util module.
