[julia-users] How to return a range of values in a hash?

[Cirrus McInnis]

New to Julia..

Given a  hash / dict / associative list like:
    transt = {
        1 => "char",
        2 => "short",
        3 => "long",
        4 => "float"
      }

How would I get this?:
    println( transt[1:3])
>  "char"
  "short"
  "long"

Without resorting to an explicit loop  (will if I must, but I'm trying to 
learn)

I've tried various bracket and parenthesis enclosures, no luck.
