I like the range! idea. My two cents follow...

A>> -1--10

A>        -10--1

I dissent. There could be situations needing inverted ranges, for example scientific 
calculation/simulation.
Now that I mention that, the /delta refinement immediately springs to mind.

    >> r1: 6-15.6
    == 6-15.6

    >> r1/delta
    == 9.6

    >> r2: 4--100
    == 4--100

    >> r2/delta
    == -104
