[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0052: Change IteratorType post-nil guarantee

Hi all,

We discussed the proposal with the members of the standard library team and we tend to +1 it (or +3 if you like).

It does not introduce any new costs to the implementations currently available in the standard library, and even in the case of `TakeWhileIterator` the extra branches are likely to be eliminated by the optimizer.
We also believe that moving the burden of adhering to the API contract from the user of the API to its developer is a valuable change.
