Comment:
As the instigator of this, given this has technically broken public API by
changing the return type in a somewhat incompatible way (who knew that the
`range`/`xrange` classes don't support slicing!), I'm marking this as
accepted and a release blocker, so at least attention is given to it, and
a decision may be made before 1.7 final lands.
Should the decision fall on the side of keeping the efficient iterator (at
any time, even if postponed), it absolutely ought to end up in the
backwards incompatibilities list because it doesn't quack like the same
duck as one might be expecting.
