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.
If the primary reason is usage in a for loop, why is itertools.count not already sufficient? --- Ricky. "I've never met a Kentucky man who wasn't either thinking about going home or actually going home." - Happy Chandler
