I submitted a patch to add indices() and irange() previously. See:
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=101129&group_id=5470
Guido rejected it:

I haven't seen the debate! But I'm asked to pronounce
anyway, and I just don't like this. Learn to write code
that doesn't need the list index!

Assigned to Guido for Pronouncement. The debate's been
debated, close it out one way or the other.

There ya go. I have followed the style of the builtin_range()
function, and docstrings are included.
