If you want to logically split an iterator after n items, you might first discover take. Before this change, you'd find that take consumes the iterator, and you'd probably be stuck. The answer involves by_ref, but that's hard to discover, especially since by_ref is a bit abstract and Iterator has many methods.

After this change, you'd see the example showing take along with by_ref, which allows you to continue using the rest of the iterator. by_ref had a good example involving take already, so this change just duplicates that existing example under take.

Fun fact: the last time I submitted a PR to Rust was in 2013! https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pulls?q=author%3Aongardie

This reminds me of a semi-recent proposal (not an RFC yet, just kicking the idea around so far) to add a postfix operator in the style of .await that amounts to .do_the_right_thing_here, involving possibly-skippable clones, so that you don't have quite this kind of ordering dependence in the code.

In lieu of that sort of thing, however, this seems like a fine addition to the docs! Welcome back.

Thanks! It'd definitely be nicer to not have to do anything special here, and if/when that day comes, we'll get to update the comment :)
