That's what slicing already does now.  This kind of normalisation
still isn't enough to get an implementation of the sequence-based
definition of equality, though.  We would also need to set the step
value to 1 in case the range has length 0 or 1.  (Not that I'd propose
to do the latter -- I mention it just to make clear that the steps you
suggest don't allow for comparison of ranges as sequences in any
easier way than currently possible.)

Cheers,
