Range patterns match values that are within the closed range defined by its lower and
upper bounds. For example, a pattern `'m'..='p'` will match only the values `'m'`, `'n'`,
`'o'`, and `'p'`. The bounds can be literals or paths that point to constant values.
Range patterns match values that are within a range defined by its lower and upper bounds (if any).
For example, a pattern `'m'..='p'` will match only the values `'m'`, `'n'`, `'o'`, and `'p'`. A
pattern `1..` will match values equal to or greater than 1, but not 0 (or negative numbers, for
signed integers). The bounds can be literals or paths that point to constant values.

A pattern a `..=` b must always have a &le; b. It is an error to have a range pattern
`10..=0`, for example.
