- more sequence like in accordance with their registration as
- implementing the Sequence ABC
+* :class:`range` objects now support and *index* and *count* methods. This is
+ part of an effort to make more objects fully implement the :class:`collections.Sequence`
+ :term:`abstract base class`. As a result, the language will have a more
+ uniform API.
+
+ In addition, :class:`range` objects now support slicing and negative indices.
+ This makes *range* more interoperable with lists.

being a test for membership in a set of constants. The optimizer recasts the
:class:`set` as a :class:`frozenset` and stores the pre-built constant.
