Hi Russel --
[thanks for filling in for me while I was out, Michael]
Sorry not to have been sufficiently clear that the bigint range support
was only on a branch so far, and not yet on master. Since sending that
mail, I've pushed that branch forward a bit and made it better, but am
also running into a memory corruption error that likely has its cause in
the BigInteger module itself (and I'm now just pushing it hard enough to
trip over it).
Too bad that this isn't something you'd benefit greatly from, but I'll
continue to push it forward in my spare time in hopes of getting it into
this fall's release.
Thanks for following up,
-Brad

Michael,
Brad's away at the moment but I wanted to point out that his
branch supporting bigint ranges hasn't made it to master yet.
I got the away message, so was in 'wait' mode. :-)
I should have, but failed, to twig to the separate branch thing.
It is here:
https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/compare/master...bradcray:bigi
nt-ranges
I expect Brad will look at it more after he gets back, but let
us know if it's important to you in the near term.
Intellectually it is important to me as bigints are integer-like and so
should behave as other integer like type. Pragamatically, I don't have
any projects that need to progress that are blocked on this.
I'll see if I can give the separate branch a go tomorrow.
