Here's another new version.  Changes include:

- Address Serhiy's Rietveld comments
- Fix length_hint() the way it was meant to be fixed last time.
- Remove __getitem__ check on 'b' in concat and iconcat.  More notes on this 
below.
- Fix methodcaller as Serhiy suggested
- Add test case for methodcaller for 'name' and 'self' keyword arguments
- Add comments to 'subdivide' the module into the rough sections the docs are 
divided into.  Move length_hint() with other sequence operations to also match 
the doc order.

On concat and iconcat: Looking at the glossary, a sequence should actually have 
both __getitem__ and __len__.  The test class in the test case for iconcat only 
defines __getitem__, though.  Should we check only for __getitem__ on the first 
argument, or check for both __getitem__ and __len__, and add __len__ to the 
test class?  Requiring __len__ may cause breakage for anyone using the Python 
implementation with a class they defined and used with the C implementation 
with only __getitem__, so I'm leaning towards only checking for __getitem__.  I 
can't really tell what the C implementation really looks for as I don't speak 
C, but it almost looks to me like it may be only checking for __getitem__.  
Latest patch only checks argument 'a' for __getitem__.
