+The following abbreviations are provided for denoting lists, of type
+[num], whose members form a finite or infinite arithmetic series. Let
+`a', `b', `c' stand for arbitrary numeric expressions.
+
+ [a..b] list of numbers from a to b inclusive, interval = 1
+ [a..] infinite list starting at a and increasing by 1
+ [a,b..c] arithmetic series, first member a, second member b,
+ last member not greater than c (if b-a non-negative)
+ or not less than c (if b-a negative).
+ [a,b..] infinite series starting at a, interval = (b-a)
+
+So the notation [1..10] has as value the list [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10].
+Here are some more examples
+
+ nats = [0..]
+ evens = [0,2..]
+ odds_less_than_100 = [1,3..99]
+ neg_odds = [-1,-3..]
+ tenths = [1.0,1.1 .. 2.0]
