It occurred to me that this wouldn't need to be limited to sequence
iterators. Alt

I disagree because iterators mark positions, which for sequences are
just offsets. And slicing is all about offsets. Here is a quote from
the already implemented PEP 357:

I think it would be useful if iterators on sequences had the __index__
method so that they could be used to slice sequences. I was writing a
class and wanted to return a list iterator to callers. I then wanted
to let callers slice from an iterator's position, but that isn't
supported without creat
