Process all the characters from 'a' to 'z' inclusive.

Currently, ('a' .. 'z'+1)

Logically, ('a' .. 'z')

Do we need a language feature for that?

The two reasons in favor of a language feature are:

1. It might be more readable.
2. It allows ranges to include the *.max value.

The first is obviously just a cosmetic issue, which I don't think is worth it on its own. The second makes it easier to work with an edge case, which I don't think is worth it on its own either. Solving both together is a little more worth it, but enought to warant a language feature, I have some doubths.
