AFAICT there is consistently one extra call, which seems to suggest an
off-by-one error in the IReduce implementation of Iterate.

;; 1.6
user=> (take 11 (iterate (fn [a] (prn (str "PR" a)) (inc a)) 1))
"PR1"
"PR2"
"PR3"
"PR4"
"PR5"
"PR6"
"PR7"
"PR8"
"PR9"
"PR10"
(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...)

;; 1.7.0-alpha6
user=> (take 11 (iterate (fn [a] (prn (str "PR" a)) (inc a)) 1))
"PR1"
"PR2"
"PR3"
"PR4"
"PR5"
"PR6"
"PR7"
"PR8"
"PR9"
"PR10"
"PR11"
(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...)

Thanks,
Ambrose
