Subject: [ruby-core:86622] [Ruby trunk Bug#14700][Rejected] Endless ranges don't seem to work properly with case statements

Issue #14700 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

Please use parentheses, like `when (0..)`.  Unfortunately, it is difficult to allow this because it may cause a conflict with existing programs.

```
x = 1
case x
when 0..
  3
  p "#{ x } is in 0..3"
end
```
