Yes, except that the constructor takes other arguments as well. I've
currently implemented:
my $input = Iterator::Files->new( files => \@filelist );

The question remains to what level it must be compatible with the
current <> implementation. When a file list is passed, I'd say that
@ARGV should remain untouched. But should ARGV, $ARGV and ARGVOUT
still reflect the status of the iterator, as they do with <> ?
