[New-bugs-announce] [issue5350] Modification to "pairwise" in itertools recipes

[Matteo Dell'Amico]

New submission from Matteo Dell'Amico <della at linux.it>:

I feel that the "pairwise" recipe could be slightly more elegant if "for
elem in b: break" became a simpler next(b) (or b.next() for Python 2.x).
It is also more natural to modify the recipes to suit one's needs (e.g.,
returning items with a given gap between them, or convert the recipe to
k-wise iteration).
