New submission from Stefan Pochmann <stefan.pochm...@gmail.com>:

The itertools page https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/itertools.html says 
"Combinatoric generators:" above the table with product(), permutations(), etc. 
But as far as I understand, they're not generators and they don't produce 
generator iterators. I think the table title should be "Combinatoric 
iterators:" instead, in line with "Infinite Iterators:" and "Iterators 
terminating on the shortest input sequence:" of the two tables above it.

Reference:
