Can we get an utilisation context ?

I don't think it belongs in the stdlib alone on the basis that its output is not linear in the size of its input (but exponential), so it explode even for a mid-sized list, which by nature limits greatly its usage.

The question would be wether or not it is used enough to push it to itertools, which is pretty hard to decide with no examples.

That is the best argument I could come up with to justify a
set#powerset method. -- H
