Bug#929195: ITP: golang-github-bradfitz-iter -- Range over integers [0,n). Seriously, that's it.

I encourage you not to depend on this or write code like this, but I do encourage you to read the code and think about the representation of Go slices and why it doesn't allocate. Please merge this code into the using one. It's used quite extensively by the anacrolix Go packages (missinggo, tagflag), it would be messy to replace every single instance. Unless we can get them to put it in missinggo/iter/n.go Drew

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Drew Parsons * Package name: golang-github-bradfitz-iter Version : 0.0~git20190303.33e6a98-1 Upstream Author : Brad Fitzpatrick * URL : https://github.com/bradfitz/iter * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Go Description : Range over integers [0,n). Seriously, that's it. Package iter provides a syntactically different way to iterate over integers. That's it. This package was intended to be an educational joke when it was released in in 2014. People didn't get the joke part and started depending on it. That's fine, I guess. (This is the Internet.) But it's kinda weird. It's one line, and not even idiomatic Go style. I encourage you not to depend on this or write code like this, but I do encourage you to read the code and think about the representation of Go slices and why it doesn't allocate. This is a required dependency for golang-github-anacrolix-dms-dev (ITP#928372) via golang-github-anacrolix-missinggo (ITP#929146). To be maintained under the Debian Go Team.
