/**
 * Iterate over an iterable using a stepped increment.
 *
 * @param object - The iterable object of interest.
 *
 * @param step - The distance to step on each iteration. A value
 *   of less than `1` will behave the same as a value of `1`.
 *
 * @returns An iterator which traverses the iterable step-wise.
 *
 * #### Example
 * ```typescript
 * import { stride } from '@lumino/algorithm';
 *
 * let data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
 *
 * let stream = stride(data, 2);
 *
 * Array.from(stream);  // [1, 3, 5];
 * ```
