[Python-ideas] + operator on generators

[Stephan Houben]

Hi all,

Is "itertools.chain" actually that common?
Sufficiently common to warrant its own syntax?

In my experience, "enumerate" is far more common
among the iterable operations.
And that doesn't have special syntax either.

A minimal  proposal would be to promote "chain" to builtins.
