New submission from Mark Dickinson:
The bool of a large range raises OverflowError:
>>> bool(range(2**63))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C ssize_t
This is a side-effect of len raising OverflowError, which is a general problem
that's nontrivial to fix (the sq_length slot is constrained to return a
ssize_t). In theory, though, it would be possible to implement nb_bool for
range objects to do the right thing.
In practice, this may well not be worth fixing, though I think it's at least
worth reporting.
