Well, nuts.

This clarifies it a bit:

irb(main):009:0> (1..10).class
=> Range
irb(main):010:0> [1..10].class
=> Array
irb(main):011:0>

Why can't ruby just do what I mean, rather than what I say? Is that 
asking too much? (heh heh)

Thanks for the clarifications. This list has not equal for speedy 
answers (usually).
