I like the idea, but I don't think it would work with an asychronous 
iterable. OTOH it should not be difficult to roll your own using the example 
in the itertools docs as a base. Except that the example uses next(it) 
internally, and this thread started with the fact that there is no 
asychronous equivalent, so I might be back to square one.

But these are all variations on a similar theme, so I don't think it matters 
which one I choose. I will go through them at my leisure and pick the most 
readable one.

Thanks
