Maybe not always, but doesn't

"abc"

contain three characters? Is 'contain' the right word?

So there must be a class of sequence, like a literal string, that
contains multiple characters stored as one object, and another
class, like range(500000), that doesn't store anything, and only
produces values when it's iterated over. Plus, a list is a sequence,
but in this case it's clear that each element of a list is an object.
