[issue11673] RawArray does not accept long

Thanks for the patch.

Are there practical cases where the operator.index check is more useful that the isinstance(..., (int, long)) check that you originally proposed (off-tracker)?  While I agree that it's the right fix in principle, the operator.index check smells a bit like new functionality to me, and risks changing behaviour for those (rare, I hope) user-defined classes that implement both __index__ and sequence methods.
