[New-bugs-announce] [issue16540] Make itertools count, cycle, and repeat objects subscriptable like range.

[Neil Girdhar]

New submission from Neil Girdhar:

When using sequence types polymorphically, range, list, and tuple are both iterable and subscriptable.  Unfortunately, itertools.count, cycle, and repeat objects are not subscriptable, although this is not a hard change.

Please consider making these objects subscriptable for polymorphic usage.
