    """Perform an N-way merge operation on sorted lists.

    @param list_of_lists: (really iterable of iterable) of sorted elements
    (either by naturally or by C{key})
    @param key: specify sort key function (like C{sort()}, C{sorted()})

    Yields tuples of the form C{(item, iterator)}, where the iterator is the
    built-in list iterator or something you pass in, if you pre-generate the
    iterators.

    This is a stable merge; complexity O(N lg N)
