the ElementTree experience shows that doing
def __getitem__(self, index):
return self.items[index]
def __len__(self):
return len(self.items)
def __nonzero__(self):
return True
is sometimes a good idea, even for objects that are mostly sequences.
(ET 1.2.X lacks the __nonzero__ method, and accidentally treating
elements with no subelements as if the element itself doesn't exist is by
far the most common gotcha in ET code).
