I don't think this should be done. It churns an API that has been stable for two decades. It doesn't solve a real problem. It may break working code. It makes the code look gross. It will complicate maintenance.

Looks like this is good to close from the discussion on https://bugs.python.org/issue37319 ?

Reopened because @rhettinger just opened a duplicate issue.

According to the same microbenchmark as in #23064, this PR provides a 10% speed up:

$ ./python -m timeit -s 'from random import randrange' 'randrange(15)' # baseline 500000 loops, best of 5: 515 nsec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s 'from random import randrange' 'randrange(15)' # new version 500000 loops, best of 5: 467 nsec per loop

While we're at it, the exception type should be converted to TypeError.

Should we raise it with custom message or reraise the exception raised by index()?
