[issue27678] itertools.permutations/.combinations should have len

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

It may be time to create a faq entry about len and itertools; it seems to be a very popular idea. For various reasons (documented in several issues in this tracker now), we are not going to add len to the iterators in itertools.  See issue 24849, and in particular msg248496.
