Just keep in mind that indici/indices/indexes-type proposals don't help in
cases where __len__ is not defined.  Two-dimensional structures, for
example.  Jython/Swing table models, for example.

And PEP 276 -- adding an __iter__ method to class int -- doesn't prevent
the above (nor any other for-loop-oriented enhancement) and can peacefully
coexist with it.
