By StefanKarpinski:

Ranges behave essentially like Matlab — except for the fact that in Matlab they are shorthand for vectors, whereas we have a first-class range type. I the second example surprising because Fortran ranges automatically sign their steps based on the difference between the beginning and end of the range? What would you expect from the first example based on Python? Shouldn't they both include the character at index 4?
