1. A method for making a can comprising the steps of: i. providing a cylindrical body;ii. arranging piston means in a first opening of the cylindrical body for defining the diameter of the opening; andiii. curling a free end of the first opening radially outwardly and axially along the cylindrical body thereby forming a curl,wherein the free end of the first opening is provided with a precurl prior to the formation of the curl in step iii),the curling step iii) comprises the forming of the free end of the first opening with the precurl with an elongated curl,a step is formed in the elongated curl, thereby forming an elongated and stepped curl, andthe cylindrical body is partly radially stretched up to the free end of the first opening, such that the elongated and stepped curl is formed in a necked portion of the radially stretched cylindrical body, and the elongated and stepped curl lies within an outer imaginary envelope of the radially stretched cylindrical body part. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a second opening of the cylindrical body is provided with a tromped mouth and the radially stretching is carried out with a stretching means via the tromped mouth up to the free end of the second opening. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein prior to the radially stretching of the cylindrical body, the free end of the second opening is provided with a clamping flange for clamping with clamping means the cylindrical body during radially stretching. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein handle means are encaged in the curl during the curl formation. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the defined diameter of the first opening has a dimensional stability with a margin of error of ±0.10 mm or less. 6. An apparatus for making the can according to claim 1, comprising the piston means arranged in the first opening of the cylindrical body for maintaining the defined diameter of the opening substantially dimensionally stable, and curling means for forming the curl by radially outwardly and axially along the cylindrical body curling the free end of the first opening. 7. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising means for precurling the free end of the first opening prior to the formation of the curl. 8. The apparatus of claim 6, further comprising stretching means for radially stretching the cylindrical body up to a first free end of the first opening, and means for forming the step in the elongated curl. 9. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising means for tromping a second opening of the cylindrical body. 10. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising means for forming a clamping flange on the free end of the second opening, and means for clamping the cylindrical body during radially stretching. 11. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising means for encaging handle means in the curl. 12. A can comprising a free end provided with a curl provided with a precurl, which is integral with a radially stretched cylindrical body, and which defines a can opening which is substantially dimensionally stable, which curl lies within an outer imaginary envelope of the radially stretched cylindrical body, wherein the precurl of the curl includes an elongated curl provided with a step, and a lid is provided that includes an annular lid portion that rests on the elongated curl and a lid curl that extends radially over the step. 13. A can body, comprising a first opening having a necked free end provided with a curl having a precurl, which is integral with a radially stretched cylindrical body, and which defines a can opening which is substantially dimensionally stable which curl lies within an outer imaginary envelope of the radially stretched cylindrical body, wherein the precurl of the curl includes an elongated curl provided with a step. 14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the piston means are incorporated in the stretching means. 15. The can of claim 12, wherein the can has a dimensional stability with a margin of error of ±0.10 mm or less.
