Subject: Re: Range does not take an Range object.

Oops, that's slightly broken.  Here's a fix.

class Range
    alias_method :old_include?, :include?
   
    def include?(obj)
        if obj.is_a? Range
            old_include? obj.first and
            old_include? obj.exclude_end? ? obj.last-1 : obj.last
        else
            old_include? obj
        end
    end
   
    def intersect?(aRange)
        aRange.each do |i|
            return true if include? i
        end
       
        false
    end
end
