In fact, if it existed, it is something I would have used multiple times. As is, I use islice() or a break inside a loop, but that hypothetical parameter might be a helpful convenience. However, it is indeed NOT the current proposal or discussion. -- The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the not-yet born.
