[issue24138] Speed up range() by caching and modifying long objects

[Mark Lawrence]

Mark Lawrence added the comment:

How does this apply where people like me scarcely if ever use range, it's standard for loops?  There are plenty of recipes using itertools that show that you don't need range, is this really needed?  No axe to grind, just curious.
