Quoting from [Al--Bri--xtra--co--nz's] message (21-Aug-00 09:23:20).
I like the range! idea. My two cents follow...

I dissent. There could be situations needing inverted ranges, for example scientific
calculation/simulation.
Now that I mention that, the /delta refinement immediately springs to mind.
>> r1: 6-15.6
== 6-15.6
>> r1/delta
== 9.6
>> r2: 4--100
== 4--100
>> r2/delta
== -104
