[issue5034] itertools.fixlen

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Am still leaning towards rejecting this one based on:
* paucity of use cases
* non-atomicity (it can be built-out of existing tools)
* minimizing the number of tools in the toolkit
* not convinced that padded tuple unpacking is desirable
