Well my answer would be that this library wouldn't add functionality
but rather would allow IMO for a more readable coding style.

If you split the work to be done over mulitple generators I find it
easier to understand when I read something like:

    for item in some_file | gen1 | gen2 | gen3:
        ...

than when I read something like:

    for item in gen3(gen2(gen1(somefile))):
        ...

or than when I have to include the work in the for suite

    for line in somefile:
        tmp1 = fun1(line)
        tmp2 = fun2(tmp1)
        item = fun3(tmp2)
        ...

or

    for line in somefile:
        item = fun3(fun2(fun1(line)))

I also would include these in the itertools module instead of adding an extra
module.
