[issue23871] turning itertools.{repeat, count} into indexable iterables

[Antti Haapala]

Antti Haapala added the comment:

well, they wouldn't and shouldn't behave like range. range is a sequence whereas count or repeat wouldn't necessarily be sequences. (they can be infinite and thus not having length). And the count shouldn't be *reiterable* because that is why it exists (otherwise we could just use range). For repeat, indexing hardly matters.
