I looked into something like Python's xrange(), but it's a messy solution. And I don't think it actually improves the performance. I don't know what irange() is. I only find something about it in a rejected PEP. I don't know what you mean with "loop variant". -- Yah, well, we had to carve our electrons out of driftwood we'd find. In the winter. Uphill.
