There are two obvious definitions of a range: a range object, and a
pair of inequalities. I'm not sure whether a range object is
supported, but it's possible to use a built-in type with a guard as a
range check:
match thing:
case int(n) if 1 <= n < 5:
...
Or you can omit the type check and just use the guard:
match thing:
case n if 1 <= n < 5:
...
Whether this is too cumbersome to be useful is up to the OP.
(I'm not familiar with Rust so I don't know what "1..=5" means and
whether or not each endpoint is included, so if I got the openness of
the range wrong, just change whether it's "<=" or "<" as needed.)
