I know that range(start,end,stride) will produce what I'd want from 
iter(slice(start,end,stride)), but wouldn't it be reasonable for a slice 
itself to be iterable?

Yes, only one obvious way and all that, but inside eg __getitem__ it 
seems to me that:

    if isinstance(index, slice):
        for i in index:
            ... do stuff with i ...

is the obvious thing to do.
