I added __length_hint__ in the last patch.

Many of the failures are the result of failings in seq_tests.py.

As test_random points out, you can't pick a random integer from a set.

Some of these failures are also the result of removing range slicing.
(I'm not proposing we bring that back, though.)

Overall though, I think it's more practical to have a length
implementation that works in 99.78% cases than not and force people to
to convert it to a list first.
