Currently there's a XY datatype in Rebol/View. Eg: 100x123 for 100 X, 123 Y.
It would be nice to have a range, describing two endpoints. For example,
Dates:
12/Jan/2000-24/Dec/2000
Integers:
1-10
Time:
09:00-17:00
Money:
$10.00-$56.00
These would have refinements like:
/Start or /Begin
/End or /Finish
/First
/Last
to access the first or last part of the range.
'first on:
12/Jan/2000-24/Dec/2000
like:
first 12/Jan/2000-24/Dec/2000
would produce:
12/Jan/2000
and 'last on
12/Jan/2000-24/Dec/2000
like:
last 12/Jan/2000-24/Dec/2000
would produce:
24/Dec/2000
Operations like:
if now in 12/Jan/2000-24/Dec/2000 [print "mostly in this year!]
would be nice as well.
