[issue5032] itertools.count step

[steve21]

New submission from steve21 <steve872929-bv at yahoo.com.au>:

I'd like to request a 'step' argument be added for itertools.count. It
would be useful in the same way that step is useful for the 'range'
function.

('range' and 'count' are very similar - 'count' could even be merged into
'range', for example by making 'range(None)' equivalent to 'count()')
