 Hello Jason. I'm curious: did you compare timings of using the try-except
 statement:
 {{{
         768             try:
         769                 return self[i]
         770             except IndexError:
         771                 return default
 }}}
 with an if statement, like this one:
 {{{
     if i < len(self._list):
         return self._list[i]
     else:
         return default
 }}}
 I would guess that try-except statements are slower, but I have not tried
 it.
