#![crate_name="itertools"]
#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "use_std"), no_std)]

//! Extra iterator adaptors, functions and macros.
//!
//! To extend [`Iterator`] with methods in this crate, import
//! the [`Itertools` trait](Itertools):
//!
//! ```
//! use itertools::Itertools;
//! ```
//!
//! Now, new methods like [`interleave`](Itertools::interleave)
//! are available on all iterators:
//!
//! ```
//! use itertools::Itertools;
//!
//! let it = (1..3).interleave(vec![-1, -2]);
//! itertools::assert_equal(it, vec![1, -1, 2, -2]);
//! ```
//!
//! Most iterator methods are also provided as functions (with the benefit
//! that they convert parameters using [`IntoIterator`]):
//!
//! ```
//! use itertools::interleave;
//!
//! for elt in interleave(&[1, 2, 3], &[2, 3, 4]) {
//!     /* loop body */
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Crate Features
//!
//! - `use_std`
//!   - Enabled by default.
//!   - Disable to compile itertools using `#![no_std]`. This disables
//!     any items that depend on collections (like `group_by`, `unique`,
//!     `kmerge`, `join` and many more).
//!
//! ## Rust Version
//!
//! This version of itertools requires Rust 1.32 or later.
