Seems nice.
Thanks. There are a few awkward parts to maintain
compatibility, but that seems to be the only way to go.
But the syntax a..b..step is not very nice.
Do you not like the order? Because it was actually a..step..b
(like MATLAB/Julia, not like Python). Or do you not like the
"verbosity" of all those dots (a:step:b would be better)? Or
is it the readability issues if floating point literals were
mixed in there?

Random thought, but treating step as a template argument would
allow for some more interesting changes to the iterations, though
I can't think of any particular syntax that would look good. And
if you did add such a thing, then other operators would want it
as well.
int[] foo = a ..!"a += 10" b;
bool equals = dbl1 ==."abs(a - b) < 0.01" dbl2
