What's wrong with 'sequence'? You can index it, find out it's length, 
etc - sounds like a sequence to me. The only difference between it and 
the list returned in the 2.x series is that it should be far more memory 
efficient because it will just store the start/stop/step values instead 
of every value in the sequence.

Cheers,
Nick.
