I've needed this once or twice, though my implementation was called 'starchain', in line with 'starmap'. I'm not a big fan of either name, though -- 'chainstar' and 'mapstar' are only marginally better (though it makes me want to come up with 'saw' and 'chainsaw' functions). Nor can I comment on the general applicability of such a function, other than to say that it was useful in some of my applications that utilize iterators of iterators of indeterminate length. -Kevin
