A slice syntax that's syntactic sugar for islice(some_iter,1,None) may be added to all iterators. >2. iterator protocol is intentionally simple.< Slice syntax is already available for lists, tuples, strings, arrays, numpy, etc, so adding it to iterators too doesn't look like adding that large amount of information to the mind of the programmer.
