That's actually what I was going for, except I was modeling it after range, but
that was the only way I knew to implement it.

Yes, that should've been len(stop) < 1.

I like the way you did that with imap, although I still like my parameter
implementation.
To confess, this is the second time I've made the mistake of trying to
implement generator like functionality of a builtin when there already is on in
itertools. Need to start studying that module abit more I think. I'm looking at
the docs now and I see there are actually a couple of isomethings().
