Patch by Chad Netzer (with significant change):
- range() now works even if the arguments are longs with magnitude
larger than sys.maxint, as long as the total length of the sequence
fits. E.g., range(2**100, 2**101, 2**100) is the following list:
[1267650600228229401496703205376L]. (SF patch #707427.)
