I'll let Steve chime in on this, but this is part of working with
structured meshes. I think Steve wants to get one element at a time, but
sometimes he needs to skip ahead to get to the elements he cares about.
Since doing that with getNextEntIter is an O(N) operation, it's not as
good as using stepIter, which is O(1), at least for list-type sets.
