Hmmm...  maybe not.  I forgot about Range#include?, which already
takes care of this, so to speak.

Let me put it another way, then:

I think there should be a method that does what Range#=== currently
does, though (for whatever reason) my expectation when I actually see
Range#=== is that it will behave like Range#include? (whereas in fact
it behaves like the non-existent method Range#encompasses?).
