What you are asking everyone to agree with is:
        5 = [0,1,2,3,4]
I would fall in the camp that does not favor this.

If you were to restate the above as:
       f(5)=[0,1,2,3,4]
Then, I believe, that you wouldn't have any problem convincing a large
majority that it is possible for f() to produce such an output.  That being
said, I would find that the argument favors the use of range/xrange over the
concept of iterable integers.
