There is a second user for rectangle_iterate, which will not be helped 
by either of these macros.  (Which is why I originally suggested 
rectangle_iterate as the primary option, and only reported the 
square_map_iterate bug in passing.)

Also, mapview_square_iterate is no good, since we're talking about the 
map not the mapview here.  unchecked_square_iterate seems way too 
overspecialized.
