Generators

[Joe Bowbeer]

I was assuming an open range:

  ints().limit(25) == range(0, 25)


But good point regarding MAX_VALUE.  Because of this, a closed range may be
a better idea?

It would permit the generation of MAX_VALUE, avoiding failures like the
following:

  range(0, Integer.MAX_VALUE + 1); // ?!


Is range(0, 0) spec'd?
Is range(0, -1) spec'd?
