I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again. (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)
That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

Apply SF patch #101029 : call __getitem__ with a proper slice object if there

is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.

suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.
