Iterator.takeUntilException

[erikvanoosten]

This introduces Iterator.takeUntilException, a method that can be useful in situations where you want to get as much out of an iterator as possible. For example, I used it to read records from a corrupted Avro file.

Maybe it would be worth to implement the 1st in terms of the 2nd? Something like this:

def takeUntilException: Iterator[A] = takeUntilException(_ => ())

[erikvanoosten]

Done.

Please let me know if there are more ideas for improving this PR.

I re-opened the PR to force a rebuild in Travis.

[erikvanoosten]

Travis fails to install a JDK. Note that the last commit only touched a scaladoc line. Before that commit the Travis build did succeed.

I would appreciate it if this PR got merged. The longer this stays open, the more work there is to maintain it.

Looking at the CI output, the problem does not seem to come from this PR: https://travis-ci.org/scala/scala-collection-contrib/jobs/608709711?utm_medium=notification&utm_source=github_status

[erikvanoosten]

There. That last commit fixes the Travis problem.

[SethTisue]

needs rebase, after #70

[erikvanoosten]

@SethTisue I will gladly do that if someone tells me she/he is willing to merge this pr.
