DOC: fix hypothetical Rust code in `step_by()` docstring
I don't know how important that is, but if I'm not mistaken, the hypothetical code in the docstring of `step_by()` (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.Iterator.html#method.step_by) isn't correct.
I guess writing `next()` instead of `self.next()` isn't a biggie, but this would also imply that `advance_n_and_return_first()` is a method, which AFAICT it isn't.
I've also done some re-formatting in a separate commit and a parameter renaming in yet another commit.
Feel free to take or leave any combination of those commits.
