add possibility to write ts[start:end] = v to change value on an interval

[stringertheory]

Good idea! I can see how that could be useful in some cases. I'd welcome a pull request (especially if you write a couple of accompanying tests) — I can also add something like this in, though it might not be for a week or two.

I think it might be good to include a compact=False keyword argument, too, to keep consistent with set and to specify whether the endpoints of the interval will always be included as measurements.

I have cleaned the PR to fix pep8 issues. Any chance for merge any time soon ?

Thanks @sdementen! I'll merge it in sometime this week when I get a chance
