The sort of thing I have in mind is where I have a sequence
that I want to frequently iterate over the indices of, so
I do
r = xrange(len(myseq))
so I can write
for i in r:
...
Having done that, if I want to test whether some index j
is within the range of indices for this sequence, it
seems natural to write
if j in r:
...
Given the context, I think this is a very Obvious Way To
Do It, and it's surprising that it isn't as efficient as it
looks like it should be.
