Barry Warsaw f8d3bcc77e Generator's constructor: The documentation was incorrect regarding how
header wrapping gets done when maxheaderlen <> 0.  The header really
gets wrapped via the email.Header.Header class, which has a more
sophisticated algorithm than just splitting on semi-colons.

Raymond Hettinger ad983e79d6 Improve the implementation of itertools.tee().
Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists.  The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.

The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.

The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.
