iters on ints? (reducing the need for range/xrange)

    Paul> The trouble is as someone else noted, "for i in 10" replaces "for
    Paul> i in range(10)".  But how do you handle range(1,10)?  "for i in
    Paul> 1,10" does precisely the wrong thing.

Hence the reason for a PEP. ;-) It helps people collect all the pros and
cons in one place, lessening the chances that something significant is
missed.  Writing a PEP doesn't mean it will be accepted, just that
the idea merits consideration.
