Proposed "interval" (which I understand as a quasi-synonym of range, apart from 
D's use of the term). 1-2 more people seemed to find it appropriate. Bearophile 
argued interval is ok but too long for such a common (?)(*) feature. What do 
you think?

(*) The notion is indeed somewhat common in code, but we have i..j for the most 
common cases, by far. iota() is only for when we need an assignable value 
representing an interval.
