Should case of string really allow ranges?
THAT is an interesting question.
I think it should not.
Ranges for strings are (countably) infinite, and this is (by design)
not the case in the case of other cases (pun intended).
I can see that somebody thought is was a good idea, by analogy with (if
not direct equivalence to) cardinals. But shouldn't embedded strings be
subject to internationalisation? And what happens when
'Apples'..'Oranges': begin
end;
gets translated to French? :-)
