Writing `1 < b && b < 4` is not hard. But doesn't `1 < b < 4` look intriguing? It's so clean!

I would also expect a slight difference, namely that  `1 < b < 4` evaluates `b` once and `1 < b && b < 4` evaluates `b` twice.

Migration from python to ruby is problematic because ruby lacks certain features.
Most important python advantage is chained comparison
We must wrap every comparison like described below.

puts "yes" if 1<2<3<4

class Fixnum
  def <(a)
    ((self<=>a)==-1)&&a
  end
end
class FalseClass
  def <(a)
    false
  end
end
