Summary: add itertools.ichain function and count.getvalue

Initial Comment:
def ichain(seq):
  for s in seq:
     for t in s: yield t

This is like itertools.chain except seq is lazy-evaluated element-by-element.  
Obvious use cases:

# equivalent of perl's "while (<>) { ... } "
for line in ichain(all_lines_of(f) for f in list_of_filenames):
   do_something_with(line)

# generate infinite sequence 1,1,1,2,2,2...
seq = ichain(repeat(i,3) for i in count(1))

Also requested: it would be nice to be able to get the current counter value 
from a count() instance without incrementing it, e.g.
   c = count()
   ...
   i = c.getvalue()

This is clearly useful since repr(c) does something like that internally.
