|Perhaps such proposals should be mirrored to the japanese list as

|know, what we discuss, and discuss it as well on the japanese list.
|If a decision was made, it could be post on both lists.
|
|I think, we should take actions, that the japanese Ruby elite and we
|beginners can join together for the sake of Ruby in the world.

|Please imagine how many poor Python, Perl or whatever programmers have

|know Ruby ;-)))))))
|
|Why they don't know? Because they don't know people using it! If many
|people would using it, much more people would like to learn it!

なお彼が提案しているのは(いくつかあるけど) Sequence という 
Range もどきで、Range に欠けている「逆向きの順序」や「非整数
的なギャップ」を持たせようというモノです。ちなみに彼は 
Interval という Smalltalk 由来の名前を提案して来たのですが 
Sequence の方が良かろうと僕が言っら受け入れてもらえたのでした。
