Michael The Range 1.0001 .. 2.15 makes sense as an interval definition, but
Michael there can hardly be a useful list definition without defining a step

the Range operator (..).
Next open question:
What about Ranges using different types in each endpoint?
1.5 .. 10 :by(0.5)
(Rat .. Int)
0 .. 7
Should they be coerced - and in that case to what? If we don't coerce
them, what should be returned?

Proposed changes:
It shouldn't be possible to construct RangeIterators over Str (apart from
single length strings) or Complex using the Range operator (..).
I'd go one step further with Complex, to say that Range isn't a useful
concept at all so

Well... maybe. How do you specify the intended precision, then? If I
want the values from 1 to 2 with step size 0.01, I guess that writing

the precision of things

How do pred and succ work when given Complex values?
By adding/substracting 1 from the real part, I'd say. Don't know if that
actually makes sense.
It doesn't, because succ should always give the next, smallest possible
element given some ordering

Where's that definition from?
The dictionary. =) It would be confusing to have a successor

No one has yet explained to me why that makes sense. The continued use of

Doing nothing should result in the safe behaviour (i.e. full encapsulation).

In general - Perl (5) is a great tool because it doesn't force people to
deal too much with typing (both implicit and explicit). Lets keep it
that way.
