Add itertools?

[killercup]

Do typical Rust CLI apps use iterators a lot? Do they benefit from the convenience functions that itertools provides?

Will new Rust users discover, understand, and use these methods if we re-export the Itertools trait?

I came here to suggest it. I've used itertools in nearly every Rust project I've done.

Can't say whether new Rust users will discover, understand, and use the methods. It's not terribly clear right now what libraries quicli includes - it could be featured more prominently. I ultimately just checked the source code because it was quick enough.

Thanks! Can you say which parts of itertools you used and which problems you were able to solve with it?

(I don't yet advertise which crates quicli includes because the list is super unstable right now)

Usually I just use itertools::Itertools

Usually for join, sorted_by, etc
