Here a preliminary patch to make PyString return integers on indexing
and iteration. There is still quite a few XXX in the patch, that I would
like to fix. However, the good thing is all tests passes.

[gvanrossum]

Checked in. I addressed some of your XXX'es, left others in (sre needs
a serious checkup for compatibility with bytes).

Committed revision 58552.
