Hello,

Does this mean that floats can now be used as list indexes?
Preventing this was the motivation for introducing the nb_index slot.

from http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0357 ::

    The biggest example of why using nb_int would be a bad
    thing is that float objects already define the nb_int method, but
    float objects *should not* be used as indexes in a sequence.
