optiongroups for ChoiceField - any iterable?

Description

The ​documentation for choices of a ChoiceField says you can use any iterable to make a nested structure to represent optiongroups... not necessarily a list or tuple.

In the code for ChoiceField.valid_value it uses this test though:

if type(v) in (tuple, list):

Seems like maybe it should use some kind of is_iterable() test function instead if it is to match the docs?

Is there a real usecase for this, or just "architectural wankery", as they say :)?

Agreed. Without a concrete use case, this is just shuffling deckchairs.
