I'm sure there was an earlier post with an excellent
synopsis on ranges which stated that a Range /doesn't/
"contain"?  Yeh, here it is ... from you ;))

  "not quite - we have a string range that __produces__
   27 elements.  it does not 'have' or 'contain' them.
   it merely suggests this set as it's current thought"

(SCNR ;)


Would something like Range#covers? be more apt?
(meaning within the bounds).
Oh, pooh, that's got an 's' on the end as well :(
