Lets turn it around: Is there any reason to return an iterator object 
where a plain array does the job?

The RowIterator was implemented as a "container" to transport the row 
array from the storage backend to the DataMapper. This was only overhead.

Now it is easier to feed the DataMapper with a plain array; or to work 
with raw query results.

Another reason is, that we are now in sync with FLOW3 again.
