Double-strange... I wonder if it's a windows thing
or a version thing (and if so why it only pops up
somewhere between 1.8.0 and 1.8.3).Interesting -- it seems to be a 1.8.2 thing.
It's also an irb thing:
ruby -ve "'a'..3"
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
-e:1: warning: useless use of .. in void context
irb
irb(main):001:0> 'a'..3
=> "a"..3
