You're right - there was a fast path based on PyInt_Check in
_PyEval_SliceIndex that got lost, which I'll add back in. I'll also add fast
paths for PyInt_Check to the functions in abstract.c, too.
The other PyInt_Check's (in slot_nb_index and instance_index) were there to
check that __index__ returned the right thing. The check was still there in
slot_nb_index, but I'd incorrectly removed it from instance_index. I'll add
that one back in, too.
Once that's done, I'll update the tracker item and reassign to Tim for a review.
Cheers,
Nick.
