'Does this cursor have the potential to return more data?
Even if :attr:`alive` is ``True``, :meth:`next` can raise
:exc:`StopIteration`. Best to use a for loop::
for doc in collection.aggregate(pipeline):
print(doc)
.. note:: :attr:`alive` can be True while iterating a cursor from
a failed server. In this case :attr:`alive` will return False after
:meth:`next` fails to retrieve the next batch of results from the
server.'
