Summary: svn head compiler fails to spot extended slicing

Initial Comment:
This is Python SVN HEAD:

>>> dis.dis(compile("x[::]", '', 'single'))
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (x)
              3 SLICE+0             
              4 PRINT_EXPR          
              5 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              8 RETURN_VALUE        

This is Python 2.4:

>>> dis.dis(compile("x[::]", '', 'single'))
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (x)
              3 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              6 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              9 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
             12 BUILD_SLICE              3
             15 BINARY_SUBSCR       
             16 PRINT_EXPR          
             17 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
             20 RETURN_VALUE
