This patch adds itertools.getitem() which is basically equivalent to the following python code:

_default = object()

def getitem(iterable, index, default=_default):
   try:
      return list(iterable)[index]
   except IndexError:
      if default is _default:
         raise
      return default

but without materializing the complete list. Negative indexes are supported too.
