Try to call __getslice__ with unconverted start, stop and step If it fails with a TypeError, and step is not None, raise the above error Else, convert start and stop to ints like the current normal slice behaviour, and try __getslice__ the old way.
NO!!! If my __getslice__ method has a bug which results in a type error, I want to get a traceback about it, not have it silently swallowed.
