Slices objects

[Nadav Horesh]

Isn't it a consistency loop-hole that slices object shortcut --- n:m:k
is
valid only in indexing expression and not elsewhere?
Of course there could be a problem with statements like:

for i in n:
    ...,
or dictionary generation.

With some changes like replacing the : sign with ; (yes, it is a
statement terminator, but not much in use as I see it) or @ ...

Anyway with a convenient syntax slices can be more handy, say, with the
implementation of iterator they can replace the lazy evaluator xrange
function.
