I was scratching my head over tee() also, in the session where I heard
it.  Were you in the "iterators II" session also?  I've used itertools
a bit, but never tee(), and so when I thumbed through my copy of PER I
thought, ahh, I've skimmed over but never registered the importance of
that little bugger before...  That was one of the more interesting
sessions to me.
