Not quite. I'd like to see the effects of context spelled out more clearly than they are; and I'd like a revision so that '..' numifies its endpoints while a new 'to' operator doesn't. That is, restrict '..' to cases when you're defining a range of numbers, and use 'to' to handle all other cases. It might also be nice to have a stringifying version; perhaps 'be', using the same "everything's an acronym" naming convention used by other stringifying operators (e.g., 'lt' is "less than", 'le' is 'less than or equal to', 'leg' is "less than, equal to, greater than") - in this case, 'be' would be 'beginning to end'. At the very least, this would avoid the inevitable questions about why there isn't a stringifying version. :) That said, it may not be good for much more than that. -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang
