Hello,
I have a proposal of making the range() function inclusive; that is, range(3) would generate 0, 1, 2, and 3, as opposed to 0, 1, and 2. Not only is it more intuitive, it also seems to be used often, with coders often writing range(0, example+1) to get the intended result. It would be easy to implement, and though significant, is not any more drastic than changing print to a function in Python 3. Of course, if this were done, slicing behaviour would have to be adjusted accordingly.
