in reply to the '..' operator and decreasing values

If you think about it, it makes sense; it's not "all values between X and Y", but rather "all values greater than X and lower than Y".

If Y is smaller than X, of course, you get an empty list, but that can really be helpful, in some cases.

    Actually, its all values greater than OR EQUAL to X, and less than OR EQUAL to Y.
