Does anyone here use slices (or range/xrange) with negative strides other
than -1?
E.g. sequence[2:15:-3]
If so, there is a discussion (long, long, looooooong discussion) on the
python-ideas mailing list, debating whether or not to deprecate or change
the behaviour of slicing with negative strides. So if you care about the
current behaviour, now is the time to stand up and be counted.
(Standing up *here* is fine, don't feel that you have to join yet another
list.)
