Hmmm. Now that've uploaded my patch extending range() to longs, I'd like
to work on this.  I've already written a C range() iterator
(incorporating PyLongs), and it would be very nice to have it
automatically be a lazy range() when used in a loop.

In any case, assuming you are quite busy, but would consider this for
the 2.4 timeframe, I will do some work on it. If it is already being
covered, I'll gladly stay away from it. :)
