"Return an iterator fixing iterable\ 's length to length by either cutting elements off or adding value to the iterable." Rather than mixing both, it would be more flexible to have a separate function for each IMO. Cutting off is already be handled by islice() (isn't it?), and padding should be done with a function called e.g. pad() or rpad().
