Called to implement evaluation of ``self[key]``. For :term:`sequence` types,
the accepted keys should be integers and slice objects. Note that the
special interpretation of negative indexes (if the class wishes to emulate a
:term:`sequence` type) is up to the :meth:`__getitem__` method. If *key* is
