1. Incidentally 1..10 is an inclusive list including the upper bound and 1...10 is exclusive (not including the 10) like Ruby.

2. Hmm, that doesn't seem to work for my version (1.0-beta-2):
   
   groovy< 1..10
   groovy<
   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
   groovy< 1...10
   groovy< [lots of errors]
   
   Maybe there's a newer version around that supports this, I don't know.
   
   Actually, I was hoping you wouldn't copy the .. vs ... thing from Ruby, since it's terribly non-intuitive. Oh well... :-)

4. This is a recent change in CVS. It'll make it into the beta-3 release later this week.
   
   FWIW at least supporting both inclusive & exclusive ranges avoids arguments over whether ranges should be inclusive or exclusive :)
