[issue6305] islice doesn't accept large stop values

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

Yes, you should add a fastpath and a slow path.  Take a look at itertools.count() or builtins.enumerate() to see how to do it.

This is a bit tricky to switch between modes, so you will need a thorough set of test cases.
