Description

Feature gate: #![feature(iter_collect_into)]

Adding this method has also the benefit of making the Extend trait more discoverable.

trait Iterator { type Item;

fn collect_into<E: Extend<Self::Item>>(self, collection: &mut E) -> &mut E
where
    Self: Sized;

}

Unresolved Questions

• Is it worth it to have this API? The Iterator interface is already pretty large, and use cases can easily be written differently without this API.
