aiter -- Asynchronous Iterator Patterns

PEP 525 describes asynchronous iterators, a merging of iterators with async functionality. Python 3.6 makes legal constructs such as

async for event in peer.event_iterator:
    await process_event(event)

which is a huge improvement over using async.Queue objects which have no built-in way to determine "end-of-stream" conditions.

This module implements some patterns useful for python asynchronous iterators.
