Iteration with the dict methods (e.g., keys -> iterkeys()),
map/zip/filter returning iterator rather than list.
int -> (int, long)
str -> basestring or (str, unicode)
__bool__ -> __nonzero__
exec/execfile
input -> rawinput

Most things that have a fixer in 2to3 would also require one in 3to2.
Only things that work in backwards compatible ways like apply/has_key
removal, etc don't need a 3to2 fixer.  Although most of these 3to2
fixers are probably pretty low priority as they are not real likely to
be used in the python code base.  They are still needed for general
user code.
