Agreed. There's no reason why `Array.range` or `[1..10]` couldn't just return a generator or at least something that extends a generator, though. I wonder if it's viable to implement something akin to `.length` on ranges, which could be natural numbers or `Infinity`.
As for numbers, I don't see any issues. One issue that came up in the original thread was that string ranges may need a better definition, as ["A".."C"] might not necessarily transpile to be a generator that yields "A", "B" and "C".
