[issue6179] Documentation of for statement in Reference says that range() returns a list

[Mitchell Model]

New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

The documentation of the for statement in Section 7 of the Python 3
Reference states "range(3) returns the list [0, 1, 2]". Since range() no
longer returns a list, shouldn't this statement be made more precise?
(since this is the reference it should be technically accurate)
