/*	
imap() is an iterator version of __builtins__.map() except that it does
not have the None fill-in feature.  That was intentionally left out for
the following reasons:

  1) Itertools are designed to be easily combined and chained together.
     Having all tools stop with the shortest input is a unifying principle
     that makes it easier to combine finite iterators (supplying data) with
     infinite iterators like count() and repeat() (for supplying sequential
     or constant arguments to a function).

  2) In typical use cases for combining itertools, having one finite data 
     supplier run out before another is likely to be an error condition which
     should not pass silently by automatically supplying None.

  3) The use cases for automatic None fill-in are rare -- not many functions
     do something useful when a parameter suddenly switches type and becomes
     None.  

  4) If a need does arise, it can be met by __builtins__.map() or by 
     writing a generator.

  5) Similar toolsets in Haskell and SML do not have automatic None fill-in.
