That's incorrect. You can do `list(range(1,100,2))`. But generally, why create
a list? range objects support many of the list APIs:
- iteration
- fast containment tests `x in range(1, 100, 2)`
- indexing (subscripts) and slicing
- reversal using a slice
- count and index methods
Range objects support the full sequence API, so why do you need to convert to a
list?
>>> from collections.abc import Sequence
>>> isinstance(range(1, 100, 2), Sequence)
True
For the unusual or rare cares where you do need a list, why do you need special
syntax? Just call the list constructor.
