More routines for operating on iterables, beyond itertools

I love itertools; it’s one of the most beautiful, composable standard libs. Whenever I have an iteration problem, there’s almost always an itertools routine that fits it perfectly. Sometimes, however, neither itertools nor the recipes included in its docs do quite what I need.

Here I’ve collected several routines I’ve reached for but not found. Since they are deceptively tricky to get right, I’ve wrapped them up into a library. Enjoy! Any additions are welcome; just file a pull request.
