Description
Since vf2_mapping returns and Iterator as stated in documentation, matching_layouts. could return the same (or alternatively, another function could be introduced that returns iterator for back-compatibility). Personally, I could use to start exploring mappings on the way and being able to stop it at the point I would be satisfied with the result.

Research direction
Start by reading the matching_layouts API and compare its behavior with the documented vf2_mapping iterator. Determine whether matching_layouts should become iterable or whether a separate iterator API is needed for back-compatibility. Done means the chosen API supports stopping while exploring mappings and preserves compatibility where required.
