AIUI: Syntactically, it doesn't exist at all, at least not by itself. It's 
just part of one of the foreach syntaxes:

  'foreach' '(' {declaration list} ';' {expression} '..' {expression} ')'

and also part of one of the slice syntaxes:

  (from the docs:)
  PostfixExpression [ AssignExpression .. AssignExpression ]

Although it's possible I've understood it wrong.

Don't have a clue how it's handled beyond that though.
