There is no handling for limits or stride greater/smaller than 
LONG_MAX/LONG_MIN in the range() function.
Instead the results vary from the error message "E727: Start past end" when at 
least one of the arguments are close to the limit ex:

:put =range(2147483647,2147483648)

to an output of a seemingly random list of negative numbers, ex:

:put =range(2220500000,2220600000)

to vim crashing when arguments are too long.
The same behavior can be observed when trying to accomplish a similar thing 
with a for loop.

:for i in range(2220500000,2220600000) | put=i | endfor

Is it possible to validate the input to avoid this behavior?
