As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange()
...
returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the
source file they're implemented in.
In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is
described as obsolescent.

...
somewhere in the Reference Manual, and someone tried to locate it via
