.. as a unary is uncomfortable, because of the different whitespace
styles people use with this operator. I personally use both "0..15"
and "0 .. 15". I have yet to discover the pattern in my decisions.
foo .. bar # foo(..bar)? foo..bar?
A similar thing occurs with unary single-dot, which is defined to be
able to have whitespace on its LHS.
foo .bar # foo.bar, not foo(.bar)
Of course, the same rule could be used for .., but then for consistency,
whitespace on its RHS would need to be disallowed.
