SF bug #730296: Unexpected Changes in list Iterator
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple. They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden in the subclass. This caused some usabilty and performance problems. Also, it was inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods access the underlying object directly without first checking for an overridden getter. Users needing a change in iterator behavior should override it directly.
