I'm sure that part of the problem is the fact that a .. b is also used in 
slicing, where it does not mean the same thing - that and iota works just fine, 
and increasingly, Andrei and Walter seem to prefer having stuff in the library 
rather than the language itself when there's no significant gain to be had by 
putting it in the language.
