[Python-Dev] Indexing builtin sequences with objects which supply __int__

There has been some recent interest in the Numeric/numarray community
for using array objects as indices
for builtin sequences. I know this has come up before, but to make
myself clear, the basic idea is to make the
following work:
class C:
def __int__(self):
return 5
object = C()
l = "Another feature..."
print l[object]
"h"
Are there any plans (or interest) for developing Python in this direction?
