I'm sure deep recursion is not needed, it's just tricky translating from
a lazy language when one is not familiar with all the iterator
facilities in Python.  For example, I couldn't find an append operation
that returns an iterable.

It would be nice to avoid relying on any value-based ordering.  There is
inevitably an order that comes from the iterable whose elements are
being paired, trippled or whatever, but that's all that's really
required for a solution.
