I like the [a,b) notation from a mathatical point of view but it's
potentially unfamiliar notation to some (and may cause havoc in a text
editor with bracket matching!). I agree that the ellipsis notation is
cleanest but the difference between ".." and "..." isn't necessarily
intuitive to non-Ruby programmers.
Keeping *range* as a function would seem to be the best lowest common
denomiator and IMHO would adhere to the principle of least surprise. But
maybe that's my Python head talking :-)
