My reading is that Guido has reserved judgment on the second part for
now. Options are:

- do nothing for 3.3 (+0 from me)
- make sequence comparison the default (+1 from me)
- make start/stop/step comparison the default (-1 from me)

If we do either of the latter, range.__hash__ should be updated
accordingly (since 3.x range objects are currently hashable due to
their reliance on the default identity comparison)

Cheers,
Nick.
