    Generator(f, iter)

Given a function `f` and an iterator `iter`, construct an iterator that yields
the values of `f` applied to the elements of `iter`.
The syntax for constructing an instance of this type is `f(x) for x in iter [if cond(x)::Bool] `.
The `[if cond(x)::Bool]` expression is optional and acts as a "guard", effectively
filtering out values where the condition is false.

```jldoctest
julia> g = (abs2(x) for x in 1:5 if x != 3);

julia> for x in g
           println(x)
       end

    IteratorSize(itertype::Type) -> IteratorSize

Given the type of an iterator, return one of the following values:

* `SizeUnknown()` if the length (number of elements) cannot be determined in advance.
* `HasLength()` if there is a fixed, finite length.
* `HasShape{N}()` if there is a known length plus a notion of multidimensional shape (as for an array).
   In this case `N` should give the number of dimensions, and the [`axes`](@ref) function is valid
   for the iterator.
* `IsInfinite()` if the iterator yields values forever.

The default value (for iterators that do not define this function) is `HasLength()`.
This means that most iterators are assumed to implement [`length`](@ref).

This trait is generally used to select between algorithms that pre-allocate space for their
result, and algorithms that resize their result incrementally.

julia> Base.IteratorSize(1:5)
Base.HasShape{1}()

julia> Base.IteratorSize((2,3))
Base.HasLength()

    IteratorEltype(itertype::Type) -> IteratorEltype

Given the type of an iterator, return one of the following values:

* `EltypeUnknown()` if the type of elements yielded by the iterator is not known in advance.
* `HasEltype()` if the element type is known, and [`eltype`](@ref) would return a meaningful value.

`HasEltype()` is the default, since iterators are assumed to implement [`eltype`](@ref).

This trait is generally used to select between algorithms that pre-allocate a specific
type of result, and algorithms that pick a result type based on the types of yielded
values.
