Summary: Lists do have __getitem__ method

Initial Comment:
In the Python Reference Manual, Release 2.2.1, section
3.3 Special method names, first paragraph, it says"(The
reverse is not true--if x is a list object,
x.__getitem__(i) is not equivalent to x[i].)"

I do not think this is true any more since Python2.2,
because types now have special methods. They both seem
to produce the same result. Doesn't that make them
equivalent?
