Given that the linked crate has ~50k downloads over the course of a 1 1/2 years, I'm not inclined to believe that it's a "core feature". This should stay as an external crate.
Note: Rust has other "core features" as crates because it is so easy to link in a crate, and makes it easier to fix bugs. A bug in std is a bug forever (see std channels), but a bug in an external crate can be fixed.

FWIW, there are other crates that do similar, such as strum_macros. If someone was truly interested in pushing this forward, I'd encourage them to do a broad review of the ecosystem to find how many potential crates exist and how many uses they have, plus whatever feedback from people who implemented the iterator "by hand" without a crate.
