.. function:: count([n])
Make an iterator that returns consecutive integers starting with *n*. If not
- specified *n* defaults to zero. Does not currently support python long
- integers. Often used as an argument to :func:`imap` to generate consecutive
- data points. Also, used with :func:`izip` to add sequence numbers. Equivalent

def count(n=0):
while True:
yield n
n += 1
- Note, :func:`count` does not check for overflow and will return negative numbers
- after exceeding ``sys.maxint``. This behavior may change in the future.
