So far so good... :)

Speaking of regex, [^ sequence starts a set of excluded characters. :)
Yeah, that is a good counter-argument :)
$ has always bugged me anyway, so how about no character at all:
coll[..n]; // beginning to n
coll[n..]; // n to end
coll[..]; // all of it
I like it! :)
Well, for true contiguous ranges such as arrays, you need to have ways of
adding or subtracting values. For example:
a[0..$-1];
How does that look with your version?
a[0..-1];
not good. I think we need something to denote "end" and I would also like
something to denote "beginning", and I think that can't be empty space.
