I don't want to pollute python-dev with more hopeless ideas, but I wonder 
if itertools could grow an efficient C-implemented

def first(collection):
   return next(iter(collection))

On the other hand, it probably belongs to recipes more than stdlib.  This 
is not really an iterator tool after all.
