[New-bugs-announce] [issue19174] Add range to future_builtins

[Peter]

New submission from Peter:

Much like how iterator style filter, map and zip are available via future_builtins (issue #2171), it would be natural to expect range to be there too, e.g.

>>> from future_builtins import range
>>> range(5)
range(0, 5)

The 2to3 fixers would need to be modified in the same way the map/filter/zip fixers were to be aware when a Python3 style range was in use via this import.
