   from the Gauche manual (a kind of Lisp)   
      
   lrange   start   :optional   end   step   
      
         Creates a lazy sequence of numbers starting from start,   
         increasing by step (default 1), to the maximum value that   
         doesn’t exceed end.    The default of end is +inf.0, so it   
         creates an infinite list.   
         (Don’t type just (lrange 0) in REPL, or it won’t terminate!)   
         If any of start or step is inexact, the resulting sequence has   
         inexact numbers.   
      
      
   (Don’t type just (lrange 0) in REPL, or it won’t terminate!)   
      
                  <-- This sounds (more than) slightly odd.  Do you agree?
