Summary: Enhance xrange()

Initial Comment:
Make the STOP argument optional so that xrange can 
produce an infinite series.

for i in xrange():
   if test(i): break
   print i, 'Failed test. Continuing search.'

Also, add two methods to xrange, .__iter__ and
.next() so that xrange can be used interchangably with
other generators.

This is Guido (can't log in right now).

I'll reject this request; fancy xrange() features are being 
deprecated.  You can get the same effect with xrange
(sys.maxint).
