Does anyone know why a step argument was left off of count? There must be something that I am missing in why this is the case. For example, I read that the negative start and step were left off of islice because iterables can be of "infinite length" so you won't know apriori where the end is. But how would you be using count in a way that *couldn't* use a step argument?
