chickadee » transducers » take

take is a transducer that takes n many items before ending the transduction early (assuming at least n items exist. If fewer than n items exist, take doesn't do anything). take-while continues to take items as long as each item satisfies pred?. take-while exits early on the first item that does not satisfy pred?.
