OK, to me this spoils regularity. Like 'ab ' ~ ' xy'
becoming 'ab xy' is at least surprising, if not outright wrong.
That is
(~$x).chars + (~$y).chars == +((~$x) ~ (~$y))
should always hold. Same thing for list

IMHO the former is much more useful and common. Mathematically (say, in
combinatorics or however dealing with integers) when I happen to have to
do with a set of $n elements chances are to a large extent that it is
either 0..$n or 1..$n; 0..$n may lead to confusion
HaloO,
0 .. 5 == ( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
Hmm, and 0..5.1 == (0,1,2,3,4,5) to rescue the end.
