Subject: Re: ruby Range to array that acts like time objects?

I'd create a class, maybe `class HoursMinutes`, which has @hour and
@minute properties, defines a #<=> comparison method and a #succ that
increments @minute with overflow into @hour.  Then I'd make the range
`HoursMinutes.new(8,0)..HoursMinutes.new(9,0)`

But that's just me.
