I think we've established it's problematic to add it to the Sequence ABC,
but in terms of only adding it to specific sequences like lists, I don't

Again, the goal isn't to generalize. I'm not trying to make lists look like
dicts. It's not even possible to get close - `if i in x: print(x[i])` does
very different things for lists and dicts.
