Oh, weird. I remembered the Ruby range operators when I read about Swift’s and assumed Ruby was the inspiration; but then why do them the other way around?

(But to me, it makes more sense that three dots would give you a bigger range than two dots. Shrug.)

The Swift approach is easy to remember: one more dot gives you one more value.
