[Python-3000] What about operator.*slice?

[Guido van Rossum]

Since x[a:b] is not basic syntax (like it once was) but simply the
combination of operator.getitem and slice() I don't see the point of
keeping operator.getitem.

PS. I don't know how useful the operator module really is -- in all
those years it's existed I haven't really used it myself, and I'm
always baffled when I see code using it.
