I like this function, but the argument name is misleading - it isn't
necessarily an iterator. In the common use cases it will be a list or
tuple.
def peel(iterable, arg_cnt=2):
iterator = iter(iterable)
for num in xrange(arg_cnt):
yield iterator.next()
yield iterator
The name 'iterable' is unambigous but a little awkward. I'd like to
use the term 'sequence' but I'm afraid people already associate it
with the built-in sequence types or with something indexable rather
than iterable. Do you think of iterators as a sequences?
