Summary: __getslice__ still used in built-in types

Initial Comment:
In the Python language reference 
<http://docs.python.org/ref/sequence-methods.html>, after the sentence

"""Deprecated since release 2.0. Support slice objects as parameters to the 
__getitem__() method."""

I suggest the following addition:

"""However, built-in types in CPython currently still implement __getslice__.  
Therefore, you have to override it in derived classes when implementing 
slicing."""
