[Python-ideas] Extend the range functionality to allow infinite ranges

Proposal: range(start, ..., step) should function like itertools.count(start, step) Reason: It's pretty common to see people do things where they increment a count within a while True loop, and it would be nice to have something easily available for people to use to replace this. Usefulness: There is definitely a use for this, as the type of code mentioned above is common, and itertools.count is commonly used as well.
